MARTIN MARIETTA MATERIALS INC represents a reduce based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
MARTIN MARIETTA MATERIALS INC receives a Reduce rating from our analysis, with a composite score of 47.9/100 and 2 out of 5 stars, ranking #2338 out of 7,333 stocks. MLM's factor profile shows weakness across multiple dimensions, suggesting the stock may underperform going forward. Existing holders may want to consider trimming positions or tightening stop-losses.
With a quality score of 47/100, MLM shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 12.2% (sector avg: 4.3%), gross margins of 30.7% (sector avg: 45.8%), net margins of 18.0% (sector avg: 5.8%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
With a value score of 47/100, MLM appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 33.88x, an EV/EBITDA of 28.37x, a P/B ratio of 4.12x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
MARTIN MARIETTA MATERIALS INC's investment score of 38/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 4.7% vs. a sector average of 0.1% and a return on assets of 6.5% (sector: 3.9%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
MLM is currently showing below-average momentum at 38/100, which may indicate weakening institutional interest or negative sentiment shifts. Revenue growth stands at 4.7% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.65 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Investors should note that declining momentum can precede further price weakness, though contrarian opportunities sometimes emerge at these levels.
MARTIN MARIETTA MATERIALS INC earns an excellent stability score of 86/100, reflecting low price volatility and a conservatively managed balance sheet. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.65 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 53.00x (sector avg: 0.3x). Stocks with this level of stability tend to act as portfolio anchors, providing downside protection during market corrections while still participating in broad market advances.
MARTIN MARIETTA MATERIALS INC's short interest score of 23/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 53.00x). At $38.0B (large-cap), MLM carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
MLM offers a modest dividend yield of 0.5%. While the income contribution is relatively small, even a small dividend signals management's commitment to shareholder returns and can serve as a signal of financial discipline.
MARTIN MARIETTA MATERIALS INC is a large-cap company in the Mining sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #2338 of 7,333 overall (68th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 12.2% exceeding the 4.3% sector median and operating margins of 24.6% above the 7.6% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Mining peers.
While MLM currently exhibits a REDUCE profile, superior opportunities exist within the MINING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
