Vulcan Materials is the largest U.S. producer of construction aggregates — primarily crushed stone, sand, and gravel — used in infrastructure, commercial, and residential building projects. The company recently divested non-core asphalt and concrete assets to focus on its higher-margin aggregates business. Its Q4 earnings miss and below-consensus 2026 guidance triggered a two-day selloff of roughly 14%, unwinding a rally that had pushed the stock to near all-time highs.
