MLM and Vulcan were both downgraded today.
These are two of the better names in this space. Performance so far this year has been strong in earnings and balance sheet. Disagrees with that downgrade and he continues to hold.

Inflation-protection trades: energy (and materials). Both cyclical sectors are positively correlated to inflation. She also likes Martin Marietta given its heavy business in residential and non-res construction and a tailwind from Dems and Republicans to fix bridges and ports during supply-chain issues.

Think crushed stone, concrete, etc being supplied to the construction industry. They are #1 or #2 in the aggregate supplier space. The industry is favored going forward and there are barriers to entry. This gives the company strong pricing power. Infrastructure spending should provide great tail winds and the company does well to extract value from acquisitions. Yield 0.59% (Analysts’ price target is $435.86)

The boom and bust cyclicals have plenty of room to run. MLM is the leading supplier of building materials like aggregate cement, concrete and asphalt. Their results earlier this month beat the street, and shares roared, but have recently come off. It's now a bargain. Today they announced today they'll buy Lehigh Hanson's western business https://finance.yahoo.com/finance/news/martin-marietta-mlm-buy-lehigh-140502925.html), suggesting management is confident about the industry.

It is into earth. If you own the gravel pits then you dominate that market. It is expensive to transport aggregates very far. A lot of private gravel pits are thinking of selling due to US tax changes and so MLM-N is in a good position to grow. (Analysts’ price target is $348.36)

Shares fell in 2022 by 23% due to recession fears, but is up 30% this year because they money is finally coming. The CEO sees 3-4 years of business. Trades at 24x forward PE, but expects that to decline because they keep beating their quarters.
