What Is Vulcan Materials?
Crushed stone, brittle nerves.
Vulcan Materials sells crushed stone, sand and gravel, the least glamorous and most unavoidable inputs in construction. Because rock is expensive to move, its quarries work as local monopolies wherever the building is happening, which ties the business directly to highway budgets, housing starts and the pace of industrial construction. It is a pure play on whether America is pouring concrete, and its order book is set by decisions taken years in advance. Its crowd, by contrast, trades on the weather.
The CFGI read: Vulcan's crowd is far more highly strung than its product suggests. It closed 6 days in Extreme Fear across 273 sessions from 23 June 2025 to 24 July 2026, which ranks it 68th of the stocks we track by that measure, inside the nervous quarter of the board. The floor, 15 out of 100 on 9 March 2026 with the shares at $274.33, sat in the middle of a five-day Extreme Fear run, the longest unbroken panic in the record, while 124 of 245 stocks were in Fear or worse. Vulcan reached its own worst reading eleven days before the stock board reached its own.
Vulcan Materials Fear and Greed Index History
Q3 2026 breakdown. The table below updates daily.
That March episode ran deep and long: 14 consecutive days of Fear or worse from 3 to 20 March 2026, ending on the very session the wider stock board recorded as its most fearful of the year, with 169 of 245 names in Fear or worse. Vulcan was early into the slump and stayed for the whole of it.
Four weeks earlier the same crowd had been at the top of the scale. On 10 February 2026 the score hit 82 out of 100, Extreme Greed, with the shares at $330.26, which was also the highest price of the entire window. A sentiment peak and a price peak on the same day is rarer than it sounds, and it makes the collapse that followed easier to read: 82 to 15 out of 100 in under a month.
The largest single-day drop came later still, 40 points on 9 July 2026, from 68 to 28, and the reading today is 37 out of 100, still in Fear, against an average of 50 for the year. The full tally is 109 days Neutral, 83 in Greed, 73 in Fear, 6 in Extreme Fear and 2 in Extreme Greed. Aggregate demand for stone is about as slow-moving as demand gets, so a crowd this reactive makes Vulcan one of the more revealing sector signals inside the whole-market Fear and Greed Index.
