Forward Guidance

Aggregates shipments are expected to be relatively flat, as strong demand from public infrastructure and heavy nonresidential projects of scale will partially offset an anticipated softening in the interest-rate sensitive, private light nonresidential and residential sectors. The Company anticipates low double-digit aggregates pricing growth as carryover effects from 2023 together with January 1, 2024 price increases will offset continued inflationary pressure from the recent acceleration in energy-related costs.

Positive Outlook

  • Strong demand from public infrastructure projects
  • Strong demand from heavy nonresidential projects
  • Low double-digit aggregates pricing growth
  • Carryover effects from 2023 pricing
  • January 1, 2024 price increases

Challenges Ahead

  • Softening in private light nonresidential sector
  • Softening in residential sectors
  • Interest-rate sensitive markets
  • Continued inflationary pressure
  • Recent acceleration in energy-related costs
