Description: VMC Vulcan Materials September 29, 2025

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 firm operates through three segments-Aggregates, Asphalt, and Concrete-offering everything from raw stone to ready-mixed concrete and paving services. Founded in 1909 and headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, the company was formerly known as Virginia Holdco, Inc.

In 2023, VMC generated roughly $5.5 billion in revenue with an operating margin near 15%, supported by a $2 billion backlog that reflects strong demand for infrastructure spending. The company’s capital expenditures averaged $700 million, primarily directed at expanding quarry capacity and modernizing asphalt plants, while maintaining a dividend yield of about 2.5% and a payout ratio under 60%-metrics that signal both cash-flow robustness and shareholder commitment.

Key economic drivers for VMC include the U.S. construction-spending outlook, which the U.S. Census Bureau projects to grow 2-3% annually, and the federal infrastructure bill that earmarks billions for road and bridge upgrades-both of which directly boost aggregate and asphalt demand. Additionally, the sector’s cyclical nature means VMC’s performance is sensitive to interest-rate movements that affect housing starts and commercial-real-estate development.
