Industrials are holding best, which stock is better?All these 3 stocks are leaders in the Building Materials industry.
NASDAQ:USLM is the clear leader between the 3, breaking from its 2022 highs earlier.
The technicals between NYSE:MLM and NYSE:VMC are very similar but, the fundamentals are another story.
Martin Marietta NYSE:MLM , produces crushed stone/sand/other aggregates for infrastructure/commercial/residential construction markets.
It has a +9% and +13% 3-year EPS Growth rate and Sales Growth rate respectively, while NYSE:VMC has -8% in EPS and +20% in Sales.
I prefer stocks with both EPS and sales trending together.
So, NASDAQ:USLM and NYSE:MLM are my choices.
