Description: VMC Vulcan Materials January 29, 2026
Vulcan Materials Company (NYSE: VMC) is the largest U.S. producer of construction aggregates, supplying crushed stone, sand, gravel, and related products for highways, residential, commercial, and industrial projects. The business is organized into three segments-Aggregates, Asphalt, and Concrete-each delivering material and paving services, as well as ready-mixed concrete to a diversified customer base.
In fiscal 2024 the company generated $5.2 billion in revenue, posted net income of $1.1 billion and earnings per share of $6.45, and maintained an operating margin near 20 %. Capital expenditures were $610 million, while total debt stood at $4.2 billion (debt-to-equity ≈ 0.9), reflecting a balance between growth investment and financial leverage.
Demand for Vulcan’s products is closely tied to macro-level construction activity. U.S. construction spending grew 4 % YoY in 2024, with residential starts up 5 % and the federal infrastructure agenda (the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law) sustaining higher asphalt and concrete usage. These trends underpin a near-term outlook that favors continued volume growth for the aggregates sector.
