Building materials at the rough end. Good history of running the business and allocating capital, but cyclical. Times are tough. Don't worry too much about the short term, tune out any short-term noise.

Benefits from infrastructure projects. Believes it has a lot of exposure to roadwork asphalt, but also relatively diversified businesses that grow. Track record and dividend are good.

Likes it, but it doesn't do anything completely different than others. When it goes on sale, you can buy it for a trade.

Ready-mix concrete, cement, and aggregate (the crown jewel). UK company that's re-listing in the US as its primary listing. Undiscovered gem in US market. High quality. Taps into aging infrastructure of USA. Needed for activity around data centres and energy generation. Creates more demand for an already-tight supply market.

The environment will give it more scale, more pricing power. Well managed. Index inclusion ahead. Yield is 1.30%.

He's bullish materials in this macro climate, and CRH is the biggest of the bunch.

A very cyclical company in construction materials. Lower interest rates should help the flagging housing industry. Benefits from infrastructure spending and have reported good numbers recently.
