VMC pays a decent yield of 0.8%, and analysts expect earnings and sales to grow nicely in the coming years. It has reasonable debt levels, good profit margins, a somewhat high valuation (31.3X forward P/E), but it generates good free cash flows and has been reducing some of its debt recently. Growth rates are good, and we think as part of a long-term hold, it is a solid name, although it has seen a strong run recently and we might expect a slight pullback.
