Company outlook lowered
Share price after the results: +6.1%Vulcan reaffirmed earnings growth and about $2.4 billion adjusted EBITDA for 2026, but effectively cut full-year volume growth from 1 to 3% to only about 1% and raised expected energy headwinds to over $120 million from $100 million.
“With a solid year-to-date execution from our operating teams, we expect to deliver another year of earnings growth and approximately $2.4 billion of adjusted EBITDA, even with a muted demand environment and over $100 million of energy headwinds now expected for the year.”The outlook is not part of the score and not a recommendation to buy or sell.
