Description: VMC Vulcan Materials

Vulcan Materials Company (NYSE: VMC) is the largest producer of construction aggregates in the United States, operating through Aggregates, Asphalt, and Concrete segments that supply crushed stone, sand, gravel, asphalt mix, and ready-mixed concrete for highways, residential, commercial and industrial projects.

In FY 2025 the company generated $9.2 billion in revenue, posted an adjusted EPS of $7.84 and maintained an operating margin of 22.5%, while returning $1.2 billion to shareholders via dividends and share repurchases.
