The analyst reiterated a Buy rating, stating "Given the tight supply/demand dynamics and cost inflation, mgmt is looking at a second price increase for its fixed plant aggregates customers & cement. In aggregates, SUM has gone back to its customer base for incremental pricing in several of its markets, which at a minimum will offset inflation.
