In a market where construction and infrastructure input costs are soaring, their market positioning in cement/aggregates provides a structural inflation hedge. Management's recent 8-K activity and the positive consensus revisions signal that the market is beginning to wake up to the pricing power inherent in their dominant regional infrastructure role.
