Martin Marietta opened 2026 with record first quarter revenues of $1.4 billion, up 17% year-over-year, driven by organic aggregate shipment growth of 7.2% that materially exceeded guidance and approximately one month of contribution from the Quikrete Asset Exchange, which closed February 23. Aggregate shipments reached a record 43.9 million tons, up 12%, while Specialties revenues hit an all-time quarterly record of $143 million, up 63%. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and adjusted EPS from continuing operations each improved 14%. Management reaffirmed full year 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $2.43 billion at the midpoint, and CEO Ward Nye signaled meaningful optimism about the midyear guidance reassessment, citing shipment trends already tracking toward the high end of the full year range with April continuing to outperform.
