Martin Marietta Materials is on one of our US lists: S&P 500 companies. [S&P 500 companies](https://www.sectoralpha.in/sp-500-stocks) ## Is Martin Marietta Materials profitable? Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. earned $251 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −23.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $1.1 B. Over 4 years profit has grown 12.8% a year on average. That is 12.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $328 M. For the full year, FY25 profit was $1.1 B (−43.0% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +21.0% on a year earlier and the margin moved −5.9 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +297.4% and revenue +14.8%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does Martin Marietta Materials make, and is it growing? Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. reported $1.9 B of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +21.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 4th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 3.2% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $6.2 B. The last four reported quarters add to $6.7 B. The quarterly figures for FY23 do not add up to the full-year total on file, so those quarters are left out of the charts and sums. FY25 revenue was $6.2 B, +8.6% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +14.8% on average, against 3.2% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. ## How much of every $100 of sales does Martin Marietta Materials keep? Martin Marietta Materials, Inc.'s operating margin was 20.2% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 5.9 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 5 years it has been between 17.6% and 23.9%. The latest quarter is within that range. Across 5 years it has been between 17.6% and 23.9%, and FY25's 23.9% is the highest of them. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −5.9 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −5.4 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. As noted under valuation: when margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so a low multiple can mislead. ## Is Martin Marietta Materials' profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 111% of Martin Marietta Materials, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $1.8 B of operating cash against $1.1 B of profit. After $807 M of spending on assets, $978 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Martin Marietta Materials' cash go? Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $2.3 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 12.5% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $2.3 B over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Martin Marietta Materials' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Martin Marietta Materials, Inc.'s P/E is 13.4×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 11% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 25.0×, over 4.3 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Keep one thing in mind: margins are the best this company has ever reported. A multiple that looks low against its own past can mislead when profit is at a record. If margins fall back, today's multiple is higher than it looks. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −42.1% while the price moved −11.3%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Martin Marietta Materials business getting better or worse? Martin Marietta Materials, Inc.'s business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 5 quarters of 1 measure, with some gaps. Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction. One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result. There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history. ## How much does Martin Marietta Materials earn on its capital? Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. earned a ROE of 11% in FY25. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 2.2 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 18.5% net margin and 0.33× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 18.5% net margin × 0.33× asset turnover × 1.86× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 11.4% on equity. The margin does most of the work; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 6.7% − 8.9% = −2.2 percentage points. The 8.9% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. The 6.7% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 7.7%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Martin Marietta Materials have too much debt? Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. has total debt of $6.3 B against shareholder equity of $11.5 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.55× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.88 in FY21 to 0.60 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Martin Marietta Materials shareholding pattern? 5.4% of Martin Marietta Materials, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 3.8 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Martin Marietta Materials from balance-sheet trouble? For Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., the Z-score is 3.36. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is well clear of danger. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 3.36 is well clear of the danger zone, so the balance sheet is not the risk here. ## How does Martin Marietta Materials rank in its industry? 60.9 out of 100, rank 3 of 14 in Building Materials, with 85% of the evidence available. Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. scores 60.9 out of 100 against the 14 companies it is compared with in Building Materials, ranking 3. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 22.7 + 10.3 + 15.9 + 12 = 60.9. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Martin Marietta Materials compared with? Martin Marietta Materials ranks 3 of 14 Building Materials companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 60.9 out of 100. 1.

They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Jun 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
