Vulcan Materials Company (VMC), headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, is the largest producer of construction aggregates in the U.S., specializing in crushed stone, sand, and gravel. The company, valued at $38.9 billion by market cap, operates over 400 facilities across 22 states, as well as in Canada, Mexico, the Bahamas, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as “large-cap stocks,” and Vulcan fits the bill perfectly. It has a strong presence in high-growth regions, particularly the Sun Belt and coastal areas, benefiting from population growth and increased infrastructure development.
