Martin Marietta's building materials business has dropped with the economy and lower demand for its products. But the business will come back with the economy, and at its current price, it seems oversold. A good pick for the patient with a long-term horizon.

This is a company with competitive advantages (barriers to entry, limited competition as aggregates have a high weight to value ratio) which will benefit directly from inflation. Earnings should be muted in the next few years as earnings are partially dependent on construction but over the long term should outperform. I like VMC more because I like their strategy better (see my pitch for a detailed description) but MLM is in better financial shape. Both should perform well over time.

Look for this "dog" of the past six months to start rebound. Low P/E, strong margins, and dividends galore are attractive.

The economy will recover. You can bet the construction materials market will follow suit. Martin Marietta has proven that they can profit no matter what the market conditions.

MLM has gotten beat up since last summer with the downturn in the building sector. It's bottomed out now, and it may not make much noise in the next 9-12 months, but look for big movements after a year to a more appropriate stock value.

With the recent construction boom in some sectors, cement and its raw materials are in demand. Martin Marietta is a provider of the raw materials and has shown tremendous growth in the last year.

Beaten down (Sept 2006) and very cheap compared to growth (and I believe superior to VMC). Rocks may seem boring but you won't have to worry about foreign competition since it would cost too much to ship. As Peter Lynch said, diversified companies may sell off some pieces of their business due to lack of success but, if they have them, they always keep the rock pits.
