Valued at $31.1 billion by market cap, Birmingham, Alabama-based Vulcan Materials Company (VMC) operates as the largest producer of construction aggregates in the U.S. The company primarily focuses on producing and selling crushed stones, sand, gravel, asphalt, and ready-mixed concrete.
Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as “large-cap stocks,” Vulcan fits the bill perfectly. Given the company’s dominance and influence over the construction aggregates and materials market, its valuation above this mark is unsurprising.
