AI Summary

Stalk
Sell NowMedium

MLM is in a Stage 4 decline with a clear sequence of lower highs and lower lows under declining EMAs. The medium-term bearish bias is reinforced by an active Lower Highs & Lower Lows pattern indicating supply dominance. Short-term timing favors Sell Now as price rejects the 9 and 21 EMA cluster. The long-term uptrend on the 200 DMA remains intact but is not actionable in the near term.

Transcript signals

Bull points

  • we send more stone by rail than any other stone produced in the country, and we're going to ship about 30 million tons per annum by rail, indicating a strong operational scale.
  • With the coast-to-coast business now that we have, particularly after the transaction with Heidelberg that put us in California and Arizona, that's put us, number one, coast to coast, number two, with a footprint now in every mega region
  • 2026 is off to a strong start with revenues increasing an impressive 17% to $1.4 billion, a new first quarter record.

Bear points

  • I continue to think that's where our DOTs are largely to be focused right now
  • we came into the year with very low expectations of RISD, and I don't think it's going to disappoint us, but there's not going to be anything that will be a real pop on that.
