NYSEGranite Construction (GVA) in our theses
Granite Construction appears in one of our theses. Below is why it entered the basket and how it has done since publication.
The Venezuela oil deal moves asphalt before it moves gasoline, and the windfall lands with America's road builders
Venezuela's asphalt-grade barrels returning to US refiners loosen a structurally short binder market, cutting the biggest input cost in road paving.
Why this company: Runs its own asphalt plants and terminals in the western US with a large public-agency book. Cheaper binder widens materials margin and lets fixed state budgets fund more lane miles into its committed backlog.
Where these numbers come from
The reference price is recorded on the thesis publication date and never changed afterwards. The current price is refreshed several times a day. Returns are in the listing currency and exclude dividends, so for dividend payers the real total return was somewhat higher.
This is not a recommendation to buy or sell. A company enters a basket as a beneficiary of the mechanism described in the thesis, and the full argument is on each thesis page.
