The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- VMC closes above its 50-day average ($257.03) while the 50-day is still under the 200-day ($279.87): a rebound inside a longer decline, not yet an uptrend.
- At $282.72, VMC is 14.6% below its 1-year high of $331.09, set on February 10, 2026, and 19.3% above its 1-year low of $237.03 (October 1, 2026).
- Over the past month VMC rose 14.8%, from $246.26 to $282.72.
- VMC trades at 33.5x its last twelve months of earnings and 28.0x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 19.4% higher.
- Its P/E is 13.5% below the 38.7x of MLM, the other building materials company we track.
- VMC's 30-day volatility, 36.7% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 2.3%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 0.99: over five years of monthly returns, VMC moved about 0.99% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
What would change the read
- The rebound holds while it closes above the 50-day average, $257.03 (−9.1%); it becomes an uptrend when the 50-day climbs 8.9% to cross the 200-day at $279.87.
- A close above $331.09 (+17.1%) would be a new 1-year high; below $237.03 (−16.2%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for VMC, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under building materials among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
