About Vulcan

What the Analysts think about Vulcan
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Vulcan stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Vulcan stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Vulcan expects another year of earnings growth in 2027, with mid- to high-single-digit price gains and higher aggregates cash profit per ton. This follows continued pricing growth across its markets in the third quarter. (PR Newswire)
Public works and large projects such as data centres and energy infrastructure have supported demand for aggregates. Vulcan’s second-quarter shipments rose 1% year on year, and Reuters reported that these projects were helping drive demand. (Reuters)
Vulcan is adding aggregates assets through bolt-on acquisitions, including two deals completed in the third quarter to strengthen its position in Tennessee and southern Ohio. That expands its footprint in line with its aggregates-led strategy. (PR Newswire)
Third-quarter revenue and earnings fell short of analyst expectations, while aggregates shipments declined 3% year on year. That raises a risk that demand and volumes may be weaker than investors expect. (MarketWatch)
In the third quarter, aggregates cash costs per ton rose 7%, faster than reported selling prices, which increased 4%; higher diesel costs and other inflation remain a margin risk. Vulcan said elevated energy inflation continued into the fourth quarter. (PR Newswire)
Weak residential construction remains a demand vulnerability: management said single-family housing continues to struggle with affordability, even as infrastructure and large projects provide support. A prolonged housing slump could limit the recovery in volumes. (The Motley Fool)
