Martin Marietta posted record second quarter revenues and adjusted EBITDA, with the core aggregates business delivering organic volume growth of 2.3%, the fourth consecutive quarter of positive organic volume momentum, and mix-adjusted pricing of 3.7%, both tracking toward the upper end of management's internal expectations. The headline reported aggregates ASP of negative 2% is almost entirely an accounting artifact: roughly 400 basis points of that decline reflects geographic and product mix dilution from the Quikrete and New Frontier Materials acquisitions, whose average selling prices run approximately 50% below the company average. Stripping those effects out, the underlying pricing trajectory is constructive and, as management emphasized repeatedly, sets up a materially cleaner reported picture in 2027 once purchase price accounting inventory step-ups are fully absorbed.
