J.P. Morgan downgraded Vulcan Materials (VMC) from Overweight to Neutral, lowering its price target to $320 due to disappointing Q4 results, weak FY 2026 guidance, and challenges in predicting demand growth, especially in the residential sector. The company’s shares dropped 1.3% following the downgrade. High valuation multiples and a multi-year high short interest of 3.6% also contributed to the cautious outlook despite Vulcan’s strong financial health and consistent revenue growth.
