WHY THIS GROUP EXISTS

Shared filing context

5/5 members covered

Moderate filing support: the strongest shared 10-Q/K outlook is operating setup (near-term outlook) across CRH, MLM, VMC.

demand / volume

Aggregates shipments decreased 3.8% to 191.1 million tons in 2024 compared with 198.8 million tons in 2023, reflecting the Company's value-over-volume pricing strategy, unfavorable weather and softer residential, warehouse and manufacturing demand, partially offset by shipments from acquired operations.

MLM 10-K · 2026-02-19
input costs affecting expense

The increase in Total cost of revenues was primarily driven by a 16% increase in energy costs, driven by higher activity levels, cost inflation and acquisitions, a 4% increase in labor costs, attributable to higher headcount from acquisitions and inflationary pressures, and an 8% increase in depreciation and amortization charges, reflecting the impact of acquisitions, while other costs were 4% ahead of the second quarter of the prior year.

CRH 10-Q · 2026-07-30
credit / rates affecting interest expense

For the period from acquisition date through June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2025, respectively, acquisitions contributed $ 59 million and $ 134 million to Total revenues, and a loss of $ 12 million and $ 8 million to Net income attributable to CRH, including the effect of interest expense to finance the acquisitions.
