Vulcan Materials weakness compounds as input cost pressure weighs on margins
Vulcan Materials fell 1.79% pre-market to $282.10 from $287.23 close with after-hours down 1.09% at $272.00 reflecting demand and cost pressures amid recent earnings miss. JPMorgan downgrade and Wells Fargo Hold (March 13) signal caution while TipRanks new Buy (March 13) shows analyst divergence on recovery timing. Average $327.78 price target from 16 buy-rated analysts suggests 20.2% upside if cyclical pressures ease.
