Martin Marietta Materials Inc. (MLM) has endured a tumultuous period, experiencing a couple of periods when its shares
fell and underperformed the market and a
downgrade by BNP Paribas from 'buy' to 'hold'. Yet, it was consensually found as one of the
best construction materials stocks to buy. Multiple investments were carried out in MLM from firms like Virtu Financial LLC, Nomura Asset Management Co. Ltd., and Captrust Financial Advisors. The company also saw some
stock sales from various firms like Geode Capital Management LLC, M&T Bank Corp, and Stifel Financial Corp. Announcements were made regarding the MLM's
quarterly cash dividends and revised
earnings and revenue cuts for 2024. There were considerable stockholder
returns in the past five years, despite earnings growth remaining slow. Jim Cramer highlighted MLM as a
strong investment, despite
concerns regarding shareholder returns. News of insider sales potentially signaling caution was pervasive. An interesting development was the signing of an
innovative agreement with Albemarle for beneficial use of material. However, heavy criticisms were faced due to expected headwinds, high valuation ratios, and lack of insider buying.
