Current thesis
Post-print evidence is constructive but still early: the company beat consensus on revenue and adjusted EPS, with AP/Zacks-reported consensus around $1.12-$1.15 EPS and about $1.65 billion revenue versus actual adjusted EPS of $1.35 and revenue of $1.76 billion, while reaffirming FY2026 EBITDA guidance. The operating read-through was especially favorable in aggregates, where shipments, price, and gross profit per ton all improved.
