Industrials are holding best, which stock is better?

Long
dpuleo19 Updated   
NYSE:MLM   Martin Marietta Materials, Inc.
All these 3 stocks are leaders in the Building Materials industry.

USLM is the clear leader between the 3, breaking from its 2022 highs earlier.

The technicals between MLM and VMC are very similar but, the fundamentals are another story.

Martin Marietta MLM , produces crushed stone/sand/other aggregates for infrastructure/commercial/residential construction markets.

It has a +9% and +13% 3-year EPS Growth rate and Sales Growth rate respectively, while VMC has -8% in EPS and +20% in Sales.

I prefer stocks with both EPS and sales trending together.

So, USLM and MLM are my choices.
Comment:
USLM NEW ALL TIME HIGH!
