Vulcan posts second-quarter performance results

摘要

Vulcan Materials Co. released its second-quarter results, which show earnings growth and margin expansion despite below-trend shipment growth due to extremely wet weather and slower-than-expected large project starts. Compared with Vulcan's second-quarter results from 2015, aggregates shipments rose 1.3 million tons, or 3 percent, to 49 million tons. Aggregates pricing increased 84 cents per ton, or 7 percent, the company reports.
