Martin Marietta Materials' Product Pricing Under Pressure -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-14

0825 ET - Martin Marietta Materials' product pricing gains in recent years could be slowing, says D.A. Davidson in a note, as it downgrades shares to neutral. The analysts say input inflation evident to customers is moderating, taking away some power to raise prices. Additionally, skilled labor wages are rising and MLM's customers may seek relief elsewhere in the supply chain. Meanwhile, infrastructure spending is moderating and private end markets, including housing, remain slow. The company also faces risks from a potential delay in transportation funding reauthorization and its integration of lower-margin assets from its deal to acquire aggregates operations from Quikrete, the analysts say.(nicholas.miller@wsj.com)
