Make your own forecastAbout Vulcan Materials
Vulcan Materials is a producer of construction aggregates, meaning crushed stone, sand and gravel. The company is based in Birmingham, Alabama, and operates quarries, sand and gravel pits and distribution yards across many U.S. states, with a strong presence in fast-growing regions in the South and West. It also produces asphalt and ready-mixed concrete in some markets. Its large limestone quarry in Mexico, which shipped stone to the U.S. Gulf Coast, has been idle since Mexican authorities halted operations in 2022, leading to a legal dispute.
Aggregates are heavy and expensive to transport, so local quarry networks and permitted reserves form a durable competitive advantage. Customers include road builders, construction firms and concrete producers working on highways, homes, commercial buildings and industrial projects such as factories and data centers. Public infrastructure funding, housing starts and commercial construction drive volumes, while pricing power has been an important theme for the stock. Vulcan trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker VMC and belongs to the S&P 500.
The current price of Vulcan Materials stock is $287.08 (−0.54% vs. the previous close). In today's trading the high was $287.96 and the low $277.67.
How the Quantum Forecast works
Research from quantum physics. The models are the result of several years of research at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and LMU Munich and were transferred to the stock market.
Spectra and correlations. Frequency spectra are calculated from current prices, and the relationships between price swings and volatility are analyzed. This produces the forecast and the risk assessment.
Detecting herd behavior. Models of phase transitions from statistical physics describe when investors collectively fall into panic or euphoria – an early sign of possible crash situations.
Swarm intelligence. User forecasts are checked once their time frame has expired and feed into the model, weighted by their hit rate.
