About C. Nye
Ward Nye, chairman, president, and chief executive officer of Martin Marietta Materials, discussed the company’s second quarter 2026 results and raised full-year revenue guidance to $7.2 billion to $7.4 billion while reaffirming adjusted EBITDA guidance of $2.36 billion to $2.5 billion. He noted that the company divested over $525 million of EBITDA from cement and ready-mixed concrete assets, redeploying proceeds into aggregates and specialties businesses, and described the pending LNA transaction as having a compelling strategic fit, as lime production shares core competencies with the company’s aggregates operations. During the Q2 2026 earnings call, Nye highlighted strong year-to-date performance, stating that year-to-date organic cost of goods sold per ton rose 3% when excluding external pass-through freight, and expressed confidence in maintaining that cost guidance despite elevated diesel prices. He also addressed the specialties business, noting its outperformance in the quarter and its non-seasonal nature, which simplifies modeling. In earlier remarks from the Q4 2024 call, Nye expressed expectations that policy decisions from the Trump administration regarding infrastructure, tariffs, and interest rates would likely be constructive for the company’s operations, and indicated a measured approach to guidance due to uncertainty around monetary policy.
