Dear Fellow Investor,
The U.S. desperately needs better infrastructure, which, if addressed soon, could create a massive boom in infrastructure stocks.
Right now, we’re in bad shape.
Look at bridges, for example. According to the Infrastructure Report Card, 42% of the 617,000 bridges in the U.S. are more than 50 years old. And about 7.5% are structurally deficient, as we recently saw with the Baltimore bridge collapse.
Water main breaks occur on average every two minutes, and six billion gallons of treated water are lost every day. More than 40% of our roads are in poor or mediocre condition, and more than half of public-school districts need to update or replace building systems.
In addition, “Over a 10-year period across the country, 19% of transit vehicles, and 6% of fixed guideway elements like tracks and tunnels were rated in poor condition.”
The American Society of Civil Engineers boosted the nation’s infrastructure grade to a 20-year high of C-, but we’re in pitiful shape. Not helping, they say there’s an “infrastructure investment gap of nearly $2.6 trillion this decade that, if unaddressed, could cost the United States $10 trillion in lost gross domestic product by 2039.”

That being said, investors may want to look at stocks such as:
Company: Vulcan Materials (SYM: VMC)
If we do see a much-needed infrastructure boom, we’ll need a massive amount of aggregate, which Vulcan supplies. According to Cemex (CX) nearly 85,000 tons of aggregates are required to build just one mile of an interstate highway. Again, as noted above, with more than 40% of our roads in poor or mediocre condition, that’ll require a massive amount of aggregate.
While recent earnings weren’t so hot, the stock has been trending higher heading into the presidential election. Plus, the company just declared a dividend of 46 cents, which is payable on November 27 to shareholders of record as of November 4.
