Summary · why it matters

Zacks Investment Research identifies Vulcan Materials, Eagle Materials, and Suncrete as three concrete and aggregates stocks set to benefit from steady infrastructure spending in 2026. Remaining funds under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and healthy state and local transportation budgets are expected to support public works such as highways, bridges, airports, and water systems. Heavy nonresidential construction, including data centers, semiconductor plants, and LNG projects, also drives demand for aggregates, cement, and concrete. Eagle Materials carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), while Vulcan and Suncrete hold a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). The industry currently trades at a forward 12-month price-to-earnings ratio of 21.78X, slightly above the S&P 500's 21.03X.
