		<description><![CDATA[Vulcan Materials Company (VMC) recently announced the completion of its $1.1 billion bond issuance, which has received orders worth $3.2 billion.  The company reported that the bond issuance was undertaken to reduce its debt that is due over the next several years.

It also plans to prepay a $450 million term loan due 2015 and reduce debt borrowed against its revolving credit facility. However, the company will have to incur a pre-tax charge of about $26.5 million in the second quarter related to the use of proceeds from the bonds.

		<description><![CDATA[Despite being the largest producer of construction aggregates and a leading producer of other construction materials, Vulcan Materials (VMC) faces intense competition and a challenging environment. The nearly stalled construction business has yet to show positive signs of recovery, jeopardizing the prospects of the building materials and other related products markets. In the most recent quarter, Vulcan failed to live up to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.19 per share by posting a profit of only $0.08. In addition, its cash position has also deteriorated. Based on the above conditions, we continue with our Underperform recommendation on the stock and set a target price of $36.00.

		<description><![CDATA[Vulcan Materials Company (VMC) reported loss from continuing operations of 10 cents per share, below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of break-even in the fourth quarter of 2009. In the fourth quarter, aggregates shipments declined 23% year over year, reducing earnings $0.57 per diluted share. Aggregates pricing increased 5%. Aggregate cash fixed costs decreased 8% compared to the year-ago quarter. Selling, administrative and general expenses declined 7%. Total contract awards for highways increased 13% in Vulcan-served states. Key Vulcan-served markets in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Midwest, and Southwest regions were hampered by an unusually large amount of rainfall throughout the quarter. Additionally, aggregates volumes were negatively affected by the varied timing of spending of stimulus-related funding, uncertainty regarding timing and duration of an extension of the federal highway bill and the lack ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earnings Preview 2/5/10 While the bulk of earnings reports are in, there are still many to go, and next week we still have a heavy earnings calendar with a total or 462 firms scheduled to report. Some of the more noteworthy firms reporting are New York Times (NYT), Allstate (ALL), Walt Disney (DIS), Prudential (PRU) and Pepsico (PEP). Unlike the last two weeks, the economic data calendar is relatively light. Monday - No releases of note. Tuesday - Data on wholesale inventories is released. Normally this is not a big market mover, but given the outsized contribution that slower inventory destocking had in the fourth quarter GDP, this report might take on extra importance as it will point to which way the GDP numbers end up getting revised. In December, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Vulcan Materials (VMC) reported a 20% fall in net profits to $48 million or 38 cents per share in the third quarter, from $60 million or 53 cents per share in the year-ago period. The decline was on the back of a 19%-29% fall in sales volumes for the company’s key product lines. However, the company did manage to meet the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Revenue declined 23% to $778 million. Gross profit as a percent of net sales &#8212; excluding depreciation, depletion and amortization &#8212; increased to 34% from 31% in the prior-year quarter. This was attributed to Vulcan’s efficient cost management and productivity improvements. Segment Performance Revenue in the Aggregates segment shrank 19% to $533 million due to lower shipments, which more than offset the earnings benefit from improved ]]></description>
