Vulcan Materials

Vulcan Materials is among the world’s largest Construction Materials sector businesses in the world. Vulcan Materials’s employees generate $486.5M in profits on $3.321B of revenue. Global output in the Construction Materials business will likely rise substantially over the next 10 years. Long-term economic growth may lift all boats, but Vulcan Materials is determined to remain a market leader. Sectoral leadership in the Construction Materials segment takes dedication and consistency, but management seeks out-sized growth.

Vulcan Materials’s ticker symbol VMC has recently been trading near $115.30 a share. The Vulcan Materials corporate headquarters in Birmingham AL predicts Construction Materials profits will satisfy shareholders in search of risk-appropriate returns.

The significance of market volume is sometimes ignored, but with a total market capitalization of $10.987B ensures sufficient liquidity. With a beta of 1.13, the company is more volatile than the market as a whole. When the average equity moves higher, Vulcan Materials moves more aggressively.
