Vulcan delivered Q1 adjusted EBITDA of $447M, up 9%, with margin expansion as aggregate shipments returned to growth at 5% and pricing compounded with midyear increases ahead. FY2026 EBITDA guidance of $2.4-$2.6B was reiterated unchanged, and data center and energy build-out drove private demand acceleration. Public infrastructure funding remained strong via IIJA, but a diesel cost headwind squeezed near-term margins and residential construction continued to face affordability challenges.
