Cement maker Eagle Materials reports mixed sales, buoyed by infrastructure demand

US-based cement producer Eagle Materials said its wholly owned cement sales increased 8% year over year to 5.543 million short tons in April-December 2025.

Cement volumes from the company's joint ventures declined 2% over the same period to 570,000 short tons.

Concrete sales volumes fell 2% to 967,000 short tons in the first nine months of their fiscal year, compared with 989,000 short tons a year earlier.

Aggregates sales volumes surged 99% to 5.328 million short tons from 2.671 million short tons a year earlier.

"While the residential construction market was challenged, federal, state and local spending on public infrastructure projects and private non-residential construction remained elevated, supporting strong demand for our heavy construction products," President and CEO Michael Haack said.

In the third quarter, Eagle Materials' wholly owned cement sales volumes rose 9% year over year to 1.687 million short tons from 1.541 million short tons in the third quarter of 2024.
