Base and Bull scenarios

Base60%

Price target

$164.46

-32.3% from spot

Under the base case, Vulcan achieves a target valuation of $164.46, representing a return of -32.3% from $243.06. This outcome carries an estimated probability of 60.0%. In this scenario, public infrastructure spending provides a steady demand foundation across the East and West divisions, while compounding aggregates unit pricing offsets moderate volume headwinds in private residential construction. Operating margins remain stable, supporting consistent free cash flow conversion. This path would be disconfirmed if private construction contractions accelerate without offsetting public highway volume, which investors would observe through sequential volume declines in quarterly releases.

Compounding aggregates pricing power sustains operating margins near historical highs
Public infrastructure lettings provide steady demand that offsets private construction softness
Capital reinvestment supports steady quarry fleet renewal and modest share repurchases

Bull20%

Price target

$200.88

-17.4% from spot

Under the bull case, Vulcan achieves Potential value of $200.88 with a target of $200.88, offering a return of -17.4% against $243.06, with a probability of 20.0%. This pathway requires a sharp acceleration in federal infrastructure disbursements combined with substantial private non-residential investment across data centers and industrial facilities. High operating leverage on crushing plants and transport fleets expands operating margins beyond baseline expectations, generating substantial free cash flow that fuels aggressive share repurchases. Disconfirmation would occur if state transportation letting backlogs fail to convert into physical shipments over the coming fiscal years.

Accelerated federal infrastructure disbursements drive aggregates volume growth
Sunbelt industrial manufacturing and data center construction expand non-residential demand
Disciplined duopoly pricing enables operating margin expansion toward cyclical highs
