House verdict
Covered twelve times over — but 0.66% is growth, not income. A $0.84 quarterly dividend at an 8.26% trailing payout, with 7.66% five-year dividend growth and roughly 85 years of aggregate reserves at 2025 production levels. The August 2026 raise from $0.83 keeps the streak — but 0.66% is a growth story wearing a dividend's clothes.
Key risk: Aggregates demand tracks construction cycles — a building slowdown trims volumes, not the payout.
Changes if: The payout rises past ~40% or the raise streak breaks.

!Thin yield0.66% at the Oct 23 close — a grower, not income.
What this grade doesn't say: It screens the dividend only — covered, real, compounding. It says nothing about valuation or price: a well-covered payer can still be overpriced, and its price can still fall.
