Stock Track
Feb 17

Vulcan Materials Co. (VMC) saw its stock price plummet 9.67% during Tuesday's intraday trading session, following the release of its fourth-quarter 2025 financial results.

The sharp decline was driven by the company's quarterly earnings and revenue falling short of analyst expectations. Vulcan reported adjusted earnings per share of $1.70, significantly below the consensus estimate of $2.11. Revenue for the quarter was $1.913 billion, missing the forecast of $1.958 billion, while adjusted EBITDA of $518 million also came in well below the anticipated $604.1 million.

Analysts attributed the weak results to subdued demand in residential construction, as high mortgage rates and persistent inflation have cooled homebuying activity and slowed new project launches. Furthermore, the company's outlook for 2026, with adjusted EBITDA guidance of $2.4 billion to $2.6 billion, was seen as underwhelming compared to market expectations.
