Description: VMC Vulcan Materials December 04, 2025
Vulcan Materials Company (NYSE: VMC) is the largest U.S. producer of construction aggregates, operating through Aggregates, Asphalt, and Concrete segments. It supplies crushed stone, sand, gravel, riprap, asphalt mix, paving services, and ready-mixed concrete for highways, residential, commercial and industrial projects, and is headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama.
Key metrics from the most recent fiscal year show revenue of roughly $5.6 billion and an adjusted operating margin near 20 %, reflecting strong pricing power in a market where aggregate demand is closely linked to residential construction activity and the $1 trillion federal infrastructure investment plan. The company’s aggregate volume grew ~4 % YoY, driven by higher demand in the Southeast and Midwest, while its asphalt and concrete segments posted double-digit volume gains, indicating a diversified exposure to both new construction and maintenance cycles.
