Monday, December 3, 2012, 3:02 AM After trying the friendly tack and then the hostile one, Martin Marietta Materials (MLM) will reportedly again try the friendly approach in its long-running attempt to acquire larger building-materials rival Vulcan Materials (VMC). Earlier this year, Vulcan rejected MLM's $5.1B hostile takeover, accusing the latter of attempting to buy it on the cheap. Comment! [M&A]
Thursday, November 15, 2012, 9:03 AM Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (MLM) declares $0.40/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 1.94%. For shareholders of record Nov. 30. Payable Dec. 31. Ex-div Nov. 28. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
Tuesday, November 6, 2012, 12:37 PM Martin Marietta Materials (MLM +5.07%) moves up after its Q3 beat on a per share basis, despite declining margins. Gross margin fell to 20.8% from 22.3%, but net profit rose 28% Y/Y on a stronger-than-expected 24% jump in sales in the company's aggregates business, by far its largest top-line contributor. Comment! [Earnings, On the Move]
Tuesday, November 6, 2012, 8:26 AM Martin Marietta Materials (MLM): Q3 EPS of $1.36 beats by $0.10. Revenue of $539.1M misses by $37M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings]
Thursday, October 25, 2012, 5:35 PM Martin Marietta Materials (MLM) confirms the death of an employee at its Weeping Water mine in Nebraska. Management says the details surrounding the incident are under investigation. Comment! [Commodities]
Tuesday, September 25, 2012, 10:28 AM Vulcan Materials (VMC -1.8%) and Martin Marietta (MLM -1.2%) are downgraded to Hold from Buy at Keybanc, which believes VMC should trade within a $34-$51 range and sees fair value for MLM at $70-$96. Despite the downgrades, the firm remains "incrementally constructive" around public infrastructure spending. Comment! [Quick Ideas, On the Move]
Wednesday, September 19, 2012, 9:59 AM Martin Marietta (MLM +2.1%) will need to raise its takeover bid for Vulcan Materials (VMC +3.6%) by 40% to secure a deal, according to a Bloomberg analysis. VMC shares ended yesterday at $46.21, still 5.6% above MLM's takeover price; the premium indicates some investors are anticipating MLM will return with a higher bid now that the May injunction is over. Comment! [M&A, On the Move]
Monday, September 17, 2012, 3:36 PM Vulcan Materials (VMC -6.3%) shares slip, erasing some of last week's gains from optimism that Martin Marietta's (MLM -3.5%) stalled bid for the rival construction materials company could restart following the expiration of a four-month injunction. Without definitive news, the deal is "an open question," a SunTrust analyst says; it’s "a long time to be engaged in a hostile bid." Comment! [M&A, On the Move]
Wednesday, September 12, 2012, 3:25 PM Shares of Vulcan Materials (VMC +9.8%) and Martin Marietta (MLM +3.9%) soar, as rumors of a hostile takeover are seen as less likely to come to fruition since business has improved at VMC. Susquehanna says MLM would have to raise any bid above the prior 0.5 exchange ratio, and a takeover would face antitrust risk due to an overlapping market. Comment! [M&A, On the Move]
Monday, September 10, 2012, 2:42 PM Martin Marietta Materials (MLM +4%) is upgraded to Overweight with a raised price target of $97 from $85 at Stephens, which thinks 2013 could shake out to be a fine year: "It sounds like demand continues to move in the right direction within most of MLM's end markets, though modestly at this point, with the exception of housing which is obviously hanging in better than expected." Comment! [Quick Ideas, On the Move]
