<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Martin Marietta Materials's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Martin Marietta Materials's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.01%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

The Storm: Tropical Storm Rafael, the 17th named storm of the 2024 season, formed in the Caribbean, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/weather/hurricanes/tropical-storm-rafael-forms-expected-hurricane-rcna178632">according</a> to NBC.
The storm passed by Jamaica on Tuesday. It is expected to strengthen into a hurricane on Tuesday near the Cayman Islands and pass over Western Cuba. From there, it will likely weaken into a tropical storm before making landfall near New Orleans. The path may change drastically before impacting the U.S.
The heaviest rain of up to 10 inches is expected in Jamaica.
Market Impacts: With a projected path in the Gulf of Mexico, Rafael could disrupt offshore oil and gas production, which could impact companies operating there.
Potentially affected stocks include major energy companies like Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>), Chevron Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), and Occidental Petroleum Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>), and ETFs like SPDR S&amp;P Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOP#NYSE">XOP</a>) and Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>).
Storms in the Gulf of Mexico can also disrupt refining operations, which could impact refiners such as Marathon Petroleum Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPC#NYSE">MPC</a>), Phillips 66 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSX#NYSE">PSX</a>) and Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLO#NYSE">VLO</a>).
Construction companies like Vulcan Materials Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VMC#NYSE">VMC</a>) and Martin Marietta Materials Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MLM#NYSE">MLM</a>) might benefit from increased demand for repairs and rebuilding.
Recent extreme weather activity is linked to climate change. Hurricanes, which will become even more frequent over time, may encourage homeowners to purchase home generators. Generac Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GNRC#NYSE">GNRC</a>) is the largest producer of home generators in the U.S.

Martin Marietta&#8217;s operating cash flow for the nine months stood at&nbsp;$773&nbsp;million, compared with&nbsp;$973&nbsp;million for the prior year.
The company held&nbsp;$52&nbsp;million of cash and cash equivalents and&nbsp;$1.1 billion of unused borrowing capacity on its existing credit facilities as of September&nbsp;30, 2024.
The company returned&nbsp;$591&nbsp;million to shareholders through dividend payments and share repurchases during the nine-months. As of September&nbsp;30, there were 11.9 million shares remaining under the current repurchase authorization.
Martin Marietta CEO&nbsp;Ward Nye said, &#8220;Significant July precipitation together with Tropical Storm Debby in North Carolina, Hurricane Beryl in Texas and Hurricane Helene across much of our Southeast footprint all occurred during the quarter.&#8221;
&#8220;Although these events are short-term and temporary, they nonetheless adversely impacted our&nbsp;third-quarter&nbsp;product shipments, geographic mix and financial results..,&#8221; Nye added.
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">2024&nbsp;Guidance Revised</a>: Martin Marietta Materials lowered revenues to&nbsp;$6.450 billion -$6.705 billion (from $6.50 billion &#8211; $6.94 billion)&nbsp;vs. consensus&nbsp;$6.61 billion and adjusted EBITDA to&nbsp;$2.015 billion-$2.115 billion <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/40252844" rel="noreferrer noopener">(from&nbsp;$2.10 billion &#8211; $2.30&nbsp;billion prior)</a>.
The company now expects average selling price growth of&nbsp;9.0% &#8211; 11.0% for Aggregates.&nbsp;
Nye added, &#8220;Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond, we expect to benefit from record levels of federal and state investments in highways, streets and bridges. Additionally, reshoring and the build-out of artificial intelligence infrastructure should provide steady growth in these aggregates-intensive end markets for years to come.&#8221;
&#8220;Further, although higher interest rates continue to affect residential construction activity, we are encouraged by recent Federal Reserve policy actions and the likelihood of more interest rate cuts later this year, which should support a recovery in housing and, subsequently, light nonresidential construction activity.&#8221;
&#8220;Importantly, we fully expect our aggregates price/cost spread to continue to expand over time, driving improvement in unit profitability through macroeconomic cycles.&#8221;
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;TCW Transform Supply Chain ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SUPP#NYSE">SUPP</a>) and&nbsp;Invesco Building &amp; Construction ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PKB#NYSE">PKB</a>).
