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
Mix-adjusted aggregates prices rose 5% in the third quarter, and management expects mid- to high-single-digit price growth in 2027. That pricing strength could lift unit profitability even if demand stays broadly flat. (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission)
Public infrastructure activity and large non-residential projects, including data centres and energy developments, are supporting demand in Vulcan’s markets. Contract awards there rose 2% over 12 months, against 1% nationally, while about 35% of federal infrastructure funds remained unspent. (The Motley Fool)
Bolt-on acquisitions are extending Vulcan’s aggregates footprint, with several deals completed in 2026 and management citing a healthy pipeline. Its 1.9x net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio leaves capacity to pursue further deals. (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, The Motley Fool)
Third-quarter aggregates shipments fell 3%, while revenue declined 5% and adjusted EBITDA fell 4% year on year. The weaker volume backdrop leaves the business reliant on further price increases to drive growth. (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission)
Higher energy costs are weighing on margins: freight-adjusted unit cash costs rose 7% in the quarter, and management expects a roughly $120 million energy headwind for 2026. The company’s adjusted EBITDA outlook has narrowed to about $2.4 billion, the bottom of its previous range. (The Motley Fool)
The tribunal award in Vulcan’s Mexico dispute is less than 1% of the $1.7 billion the company sought, according to Mexico’s government. That leaves limited compensation from a long-running dispute over its shuttered quarry operations. (Mining Weekly)
