GetCoattail Research — The Filing Tape #129. Vulcan Materials surfaced on a trending-stocks screen this week listed as a Strong Buy with three Buy ratings and no Hold or Sell, and the filings describe a register whose growth is mostly arrival, not accumulation: 8 of the 147 superinvestors held the stock at June 30, 2026, totalling 6,638,951 shares, but three of the eight are new holders carrying 62.1% of that stake, and the five holders who verify against the first quarter grew a combined 5.7% while the price rose 8.3%. Insiders have never bought a share in the parsed record, Congress shows no row in any aggregate, and short interest sits 15.4% below the series peak it set in July.
The Hype
Vulcan Materials' attention this week is a screen story. The stock appeared on TipRanks' Trending Stocks by Analyst screener — SMTC, SCHW and JBHT topped the page's order, followed by covered, skipped or just-published names including BNY, USB, CRWV, META, TRU and EFX — listed as a Strong Buy with a price target of $309.69 (20.21% upside as printed), 3 Buy, 0 Hold and 0 Sell ratings, a printed one-month change of +5.46%, a market value of $33.38B as printed, in Basic Materials, with its last rating dated October 19, 2026. TipRanks Our price file shows the path behind the screen: the stock rose 8.3% in the second quarter, from $272.30 on March 31 to $295.01 on June 30, then fell to $243.06 by October 2 — down 17.6% from the June 30 close, down 14.8% year to date, and 26.4% below the 252-session high of $330.37 (February 10, 2026).
The Tape
For Vulcan Materials — the one hundred and twenty-ninth Filing Tape audit — the tape shows eight June holders of whom three are new and carry most of the stake, a verified continuing cohort up just 5.7%, a full market adding filers and shares, an insider record with no purchase against 30 sales, no Congress row at all, an all-passive 5% register whose maximum name also prints zero, and a borrow down from its July peak but up 46.2% in a year.
| Lens | As of | What the filings show | Direction vs prior period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Superinvestors (13F) | Jun 30, 2026 | 8 holders of 147 tracked managers hold 6,638,951 shares; top holder is 36.9% of the tracked stake | 3 NEW, 2 DECREASED, 2 UNCHANGED, 1 INCREASED; verified continuing cohort +5.7% vs Q1; two exits |

Lens 1 — the superinvestors: eight June holders, three of them new, a verified cohort up 5.7%. We track 149 managers whose 13F portfolios we collect from SEC EDGAR — 147 are in the collection (144 at a June 30 period-end, 3 early filers at September 30, none of them holding this name, so there is no period split) — and the June 30, 2026 register for the common stock (CUSIP 929160109) is 8 distinct managers holding 6,638,951 shares worth $1,958,556,935, long only, with no option rows and no debt rows: 3 are labelled NEW, 2 DECREASED, 2 UNCHANGED and 1 INCREASED, with two exits. Chris Hohn - TCI Fund Management is the largest: 2,447,004 shares worth $721,890,650 — 36.9% of the tracked stake — at a 1.37% portfolio weight, labelled NEW (filed August 14, 2026). The second holder, John Armitage - Egerton Capital, holds 1,971,694 shares (29.7%, INCREASED +11.4%, at a 5.62% weight), so the top two hold 66.6% — 4,418,698 shares — between them. The remaining holders are Veritas Asset Management (1,039,426 shares, NEW, at a 5.52% weight), Lee Ainslie - Maverick Capital (637,264 shares, NEW, at a 1.66% weight), Skye Global Management (308,500 shares, DECREASED -15.2%, at a 1.77% weight), Wallace Weitz - Weitz Investment Management (203,800 shares, DECREASED -4.9%, at a 4.16% weight), Dodge & Cox Funds (24,000 shares, UNCHANGED 0.0%, at a 0.0% weight) and Thomas Russo - Gardner Russo & Quinn (7,263 shares, UNCHANGED 0.0%, at a 0.02% weight). The three new holders — TCI, Veritas and Maverick — carry 4,123,694 shares between them, 62.1% of the tracked stake. The change verifies row by row for all five continuing holders under two register methods that agree exactly (methodology): those five held 2,378,679 shares at March 31 and 2,515,257 at June 30 (+136,578 shares, +5.7%), with Egerton's +202,478-share increase partly offset by Skye Global's -55,500 and Weitz's -10,400. The full register reconciles with no residual: 2,564,539 shares at March 31 (the verified 2,378,679, plus the 185,860 shares of the quarter's two exits, Stephen Mandel - Lone Pine Capital at 144,179 and Eagle Capital Management at 41,681) moving to 6,638,951 at June 30, a register change of +158.9% that differs from the verified cohort's +5.7% because the register also counts the three new holders and the two exits. All eight rows imply $295.01; the cohort implied price is $295.01, the June 30 close. 13F figures are as of June 30, 2026, published up to 45 days later.
Lens 2 — institutions: 55 more filers reporting 19.4% more shares. At June 30, 2026, 1,070 institutions reported positions, up 55 from 1,015 at March 31 (+5.42%); 1,065 are long. Reported shares rose 19.4%, from 106,482,030 to 127,155,865 (+20,673,835 shares), and reported value rose 30.01% to $37,225,679,814, labelled "reported" because the aggregate includes option rows (methodology). Flow counts agree: 950 entered, 895 exited, net +55, and the by-CUSIP row matches the by-ticker row on every field. The reported value implies $292.76 against a June 30 close of $295.01 (-0.76%).
Lens 3 — insiders: no purchase in the entire parsed record, against 30 sales. The parsed Form 4 record holds 120 filings through October 2, 2026, and it contains no purchase transaction at all: the buy count is zero in the 90-day window, in the one-year window and across the full record. Sales run the other way. The last 90 days hold 5 sales: 16,000 shares for $4,436,604.44, by 2 sellers, across 4 filings, one of the five an officer sale. The one-year window holds 18 sales (52,054.02 shares, $15,026,745.36, 7 sellers), and the full record holds 30 sales (145,454.99 shares, $40,724,446.92, 8 sellers). The sales imply $277.29 per share over 90 days, $288.68 over one year and $279.98 over the full record, each inside its window's close range on our price file — so the dollar totals are cited for all three windows.
Lens 4 — Congress: no row in any aggregate. The combined record (as of October 3, 2026), the House aggregate (as of October 3, 2026) and the Senate aggregate (as of October 1, 2026) each carry no row for this name. That is the whole of this lens: no recorded purchase, no recorded sale, in any of the three aggregates.
Lens 5 — the 5% register: 9 filings, every one of them passive, maximum 12.63%. Our full parse holds 9 SC 13D/G filings matching the site aggregate — 0 SC 13D family and 9 SC 13G family (4 SC 13G, 5 SC 13G/A); 5 amendments, 7 reporter names across 9 reporter rows. The maximum is 12.63%: The Vanguard Group printed 16,697,431 shares at 12.63% as of March 31, 2025 (filed April 30, 2025, SC 13G/A) — and the same name later printed 0 shares at 0.0% as of March 13, 2026 (filed March 27, 2026, SC 13G/A), while Vanguard Capital Management separately printed 9,843,352 shares at 7.54% as of March 31, 2026 and Vanguard Portfolio Management printed 7,046,686 shares at 5.4% as of the same date. JPMorgan Chase printed 6,771,833 shares at 5.1% as of March 31, 2025, then 5,743,652 shares at 4.4% as of March 31, 2026 — the register's latest filing, filed May 13, 2026. Principal Global Investors printed 6,894,267 shares at 5.2% as of June 30, 2025, then 6,315,161 shares at 4.8% as of March 31, 2026. BlackRock printed 8,975,496 shares at 6.8% as of March 31, 2025.
Lens 6 — short interest: a July peak, a two-month fade, still up 46.2% in a year. The latest FINRA settlement, September 15, 2026, records 5,543,643 shares sold short — 4.27% of the 129,754,885 shares outstanding — at 5.12 days to cover, down 1.28% from the prior settlement. The series peak is two months back: 6,549,851 shares on July 15, 2026, the maximum across all 137 settlements in the series, which begins January 15, 2021; the latest reading sits 15.4% below it. The series minimum is 1,040,862 on February 12, 2021. Against June 30, 2026 (6,009,130) the latest is down 7.7%, and against a year ago (3,792,141 on September 15, 2025) up 46.2%. The recent path runs 6,009,130 (June 30), 6,549,851 (July 15), 6,124,440 (July 31), 6,367,990 (August 14), 5,615,575 (August 31) and 5,543,643 (September 15) — two rises and three falls across the six settlements. The series is published as collected.
The Gap
The narrative arriving this week is an analyst-consensus story: a Strong Buy trending listing, three Buy ratings against no Hold and no Sell, a printed target above the last close, on a stock the screen prints up 5.46% in a month. The June tape backs only part of it. The full market did add — 55 more filers, 19.4% more shares — and three tracked managers did open new positions. But 62.1% of the tracked stake belongs to those three arrivals: the register's +158.9% headline is entry, and the five managers who were already there grew just 5.7% between them, with two of the five cutting and two exits leaving. Inside the company, the record holds no purchase ever against 30 sales. The 5% register's maximum name, The Vanguard Group at 12.63%, also carries a later print of 0.0%. And while the borrow has faded 15.4% from its July peak, it remains 46.2% above a year ago. One plausible reading is that the filings describe new money arriving at the register level while the continuing holders, the insiders and the 5% prints move little or the other way: the screen says Strong Buy, and the tape says the buying is concentrated in who just showed up.
What Would Change the Picture
Nothing above is a recommendation. These filings would change it:
- 1. The 2026Q3 13F season (filing window closing mid-November 2026). All five continuing June holders verify, so the cohort's +5.7% is a clean baseline. Whether TCI's new 2,447,004-share stake — 36.9% of the tracked total — is held or added to, and whether Veritas and Maverick hold their new positions, decides whether this lens stays an arrivals story.
- 2. A first insider purchase in the record. The record holds 0 purchases in 120 filings — and 30 sales, the last 5 of them in 90 days totalling $4,436,604.44. A first recorded purchase, at any size, would change this lens.
- 3. A first Congress row. The combined, House and Senate aggregates all carry no row for this name. A first recorded transaction in any aggregate would change this lens.
- 4. A first SC 13D filing, or a new 5% print above 12.63%. Every one of the 9 filings in this register is a 13G-family filing. A first activist-form filing, or any print above The Vanguard Group's 12.63% maximum, would change this lens.
- 5. Short interest to a new record, or back below the year-ago level. The borrow stands at 5,543,643 shares, 15.4% below the series peak set July 15, 2026 and up 46.2% in a year, at 4.27% of the share count. A reading above 6,549,851 would set a new record; a reading back below the September 15, 2025 settlement of 3,792,141 would unwind the year-over-year build.

Methodology and data notes
- As-of & limits: The lenses rest on different clocks, none live: 13F is a June 30, 2026 snapshot published up to 45 days later; Form 4 runs through October 2, 2026; Congress aggregates run through October 3, 2026 (Senate through October 1, 2026); 13D/G through May 13, 2026; short interest through September 15, 2026; the price file ends October 2, 2026. Six limits are specific to this audit. First, the roster expanded before the recent audits — from 85 managers (83 filing) to 149 (147 filing) — so "of 147" counts are not comparable to earlier pieces' "of 83" figures. Second, this name carries no period split: all eight tracked holders sit on a June 30, 2026 period-end and none of the three September 30, 2026 early filers holds this name, so every tracked figure here is a single-date figure. Third, the verified cohort and the pipeline register move at very different rates: the register rose 158.9% (2,564,539 shares at March 31 to 6,638,951 at June 30) because it counts the three new holders' 4,123,694 shares and the two exits, while the five holders both register methods could pair grew 5.7%; both figures are stated wherever the cohort change is cited. Fourth, the Congress lens is empty in all three aggregates — combined, House and Senate each carry no row for this name — so unlike the previous audit, where a row recorded a single unattributed sale, here there is no recorded transaction to report at all; the lens is reported as none, as this series requires for an empty lens. Fifth, the site's insider aggregate agrees with the full parse exactly on the 90-day window for this name (methodology, Insider lens), so no collection disagreement needs stating here. Sixth, our price file begins June 1, 2021, so every price statement in this audit is mechanical, a date and a close from that file. The TipRanks screener listing (dated October 19, 2026 on the page for this name) postdates the 13F snapshot and the short-interest series; the listing is known to this audit only from outside coverage, not from our own files, and none of its price figures are cited here beyond the listing's own printed target and market value, which are reported as screen content in The Hype; every other price figure here is from our own price file.
- Superinvestor lens: 147 managers in the collection (of a 149-manager roster; 144 at a June 30, 2026 period-end and 3 early filers at September 30, 2026, none of them holding this name) collected directly from SEC EDGAR Form 13F (managers_13f collection, regenerated October 15, 2026 for the expanded roster); Vulcan Materials positions are counted on the common-stock CUSIP 929160109, long rows only. Eight distinct managers hold a long position at June 30, 2026, totalling 6,638,951 shares worth $1,958,556,935, with a direction count of 3 NEW, 2 DECREASED, 2 UNCHANGED and 1 INCREASED, two exited managers, and no option rows. Chris Hohn - TCI Fund Management's share of the stake is 36.9% = 2,447,004 / 6,638,951, at a 1.37% portfolio weight; John Armitage - Egerton Capital's is 29.7% = 1,971,694 / 6,638,951, and the top two together are 66.6% = 4,418,698 / 6,638,951. All five continuing holders verify row by row against the first quarter under two independent methods that agree exactly. Under the rule used in the previous audits — a holder's first-quarter row accepted only when its implied shares-change reproduces the EDGAR shares-change label at one decimal place — the verified continuing total is 2,378,679 shares at March 31 moving to 2,515,257 at June 30 (+5.7%): John Armitage - Egerton Capital 1,769,216 → 1,971,694 (+11.4%), Skye Global Management 364,000 → 308,500 (-15.2%), Wallace Weitz - Weitz Investment Management 214,200 → 203,800 (-4.9%), Dodge & Cox Funds 24,000 → 24,000 (0.0%), Thomas Russo - Gardner Russo & Quinn 7,263 → 7,263 (0.0%). Because two recent audits found the generic accession-prefix method failing on shared filing-agent prefixes, the check was also rerun identifying filings by accession (filing total equal to the manager's collection total, unique) and pairing second- and first-quarter filings of the same manager by maximum CUSIP-set overlap under the same agent prefix (Dodge & Cox Funds overlap 213 CUSIPs, Thomas Russo - Gardner Russo & Quinn 84, Wallace Weitz - Weitz Investment Management 47, Skye Global Management 30, John Armitage - Egerton Capital 18 — each uniquely the maximum); the corrected method returns the identical first-quarter rows, so no correction changes any figure here. The register then reconciles exactly (first quarter: 2,564,539 shares = the verified continuing total of 2,378,679 plus the exited holders' 185,860 — Stephen Mandel - Lone Pine Capital 144,179 shares, $39,259,942 of prior-quarter value, and Eagle Capital Management 41,681 shares, $11,349,736; second quarter: 6,638,951 shares — so the register change of +158.9% differs from the verified cohort's +5.7% because the register also counts the three new holders, Chris Hohn - TCI Fund Management, Veritas Asset Management and Lee Ainslie - Maverick Capital). Implied per-share value: all eight long rows imply $295.01, so the cohort implied price is $295.01, 0.0% against the June 30, 2026 close. The remaining holders are Veritas Asset Management (1,039,426 shares, $306,641,064, 5.52% weight, NEW, filed August 4, 2026), Lee Ainslie - Maverick Capital (637,264 shares, $187,999,253, 1.66% weight, NEW, filed August 14, 2026), Skye Global Management (308,500 shares, $91,010,585, 1.77% weight, DECREASED -15.2%, filed August 14, 2026), Wallace Weitz - Weitz Investment Management (203,800 shares, $60,123,038, 4.16% weight, DECREASED -4.9%, filed August 12, 2026), Dodge & Cox Funds (24,000 shares, $7,080,240, 0.0% weight, UNCHANGED 0.0%, filed August 13, 2026) and Thomas Russo - Gardner Russo & Quinn (7,263 shares, $2,142,658, 0.02% weight, UNCHANGED 0.0%, filed August 13, 2026); John Armitage - Egerton Capital filed July 21, 2026 and Chris Hohn - TCI Fund Management filed August 14, 2026.
- Full-market lens: SEC Form 13F Data Sets full-market aggregation. The primary table is the full13f collection's by-ticker file (holders = distinct filers reporting the ticker's CUSIP; 1,065 reported long positions out of 1,070 filers). Vulcan Materials carries a single CUSIP in this aggregation (929160109), and the backfill fixtures' by-CUSIP row matches the by-ticker row exactly on every field — holders (1,070), long holders (1,065), shares (127,155,865), reported value ($37,225,679,814), prior holders (1,015) and prior reported value ($28,631,869,778). The by-ticker file's entered/exited fields (950 and 895, a net of +55 that matches the change in holder count) are gross flows, so this audit headlines the net change. Reported-value caution: the aggregate value ($37,225,679,814 over 127,155,865 shares) implies $292.76 per share against a June 30, 2026 close of $295.01 in our price file, a gap of -0.76%. The aggregate sums the VALUE of every information-table row — including put and call option rows — while the share count covers long common-stock rows only, so we headline filer and share counts and label dollar values "reported."
- Insider lens: full-parse Form 4 aggregation (agg_by_ticker), record as of October 2, 2026 (120 filings). Sale and purchase counts are transaction-code counts (S and P) in non-derivative rows; grants and exercises are not counted as purchases, and one filing can contain many transaction rows. The 90-day window (July 5 to October 2, 2026) holds 0 purchase transactions and 5 sale transactions (16,000 shares, $4,436,604.44, 2 sellers, 1 of the 5 an officer sale transaction) across 4 filings. The one-year window (October 3, 2025 to October 2, 2026) holds 0 purchases and 18 sales (52,054.02 shares, $15,026,745.36, 7 sellers) across 68 filings, and the full record holds 0 purchases and 30 sales (145,454.99 shares, $40,724,446.92, 8 sellers). The site's insider aggregate (90-day window, as of October 19, 2026) counts 0 purchases, 5 sale transactions and $4,436,604.44 by 2 sellers for this name — exactly the full parse's 90-day figures, so the two collections agree here. Window price checks on our price file: the sales imply $277.29 per share over 90 days, inside its close range ($240.83 to $304.84); $288.68 over one year, inside its range ($240.83 to $330.37); and $279.98 over the full record, inside its full-period range ($141.45 to $330.37) — so dollar totals are cited for all three sale windows. There is no purchase implied price in any window, because there are no purchases in any of them.
- 13D/G lens: full-parse SC 13D/G parsed filings (9 filings matching issuer CIK 1396009 on CUSIP 929160109: 0 SC 13D family filings and 9 SC 13G family filings — 4 SC 13G and 5 SC 13G/A, 5 of the 9 amendments), filings through May 13, 2026. The site aggregation carries this name under a ticker-keyed row; that row (9 filings, 0 D-filings, 9 G-filings, 5 amendments, 7 reporters, latest date May 13, 2026, maximum 12.63%, total reported 68,287,878.0 shares) matches the parsed filings on filings, form mix, amendments, latest date, maximum and the cross-date reported total. The total sums reporter rows across filings and dates, so it is a filing-volume total, not a stake; every filing here carries a single reporter row, so no joint-reporter double-count arises in this register. The maximum of 12.63% is The Vanguard Group's print of 16,697,431 shares as of March 31, 2025 (filed April 30, 2025, SC 13G/A); the same reporter name printed 0 shares at 0.0% as of March 13, 2026 (filed March 27, 2026, SC 13G/A), and Vanguard Capital Management separately printed 9,843,352 shares at 7.54% as of March 31, 2026 (filed April 30, 2026, SC 13G) while Vanguard Portfolio Management printed 7,046,686 shares at 5.4% as of March 31, 2026 (filed April 29, 2026, SC 13G) — the prints are reported as they appear and are not reconciled into one Vanguard position. The latest filing (filed May 13, 2026, SC 13G/A) is JPMorgan Chase & Co at 5,743,652 shares and 4.4% as of March 31, 2026. The other prints stated in the text are JPMorgan Chase & Co. at 6,771,833 shares and 5.1% as of March 31, 2025 (filed April 29, 2025, SC 13G); Principal Global Investors at 6,894,267 shares and 5.2% as of June 30, 2025 (filed August 12, 2025, SC 13G) and 6,315,161 shares at 4.8% as of March 31, 2026 (filed May 12, 2026, SC 13G/A); and BlackRock, Inc. at 8,975,496 shares and 6.8% as of March 31, 2025 (filed April 24, 2025, SC 13G/A). The parsed coverage for this issuer holds these 9 filings; a 5% holder that has not filed in the covered window would not appear here.
- Congress lens: Senate PTR archive and House PTR archive as maintained on this site. The combined record (as of October 3, 2026), the House aggregate (as of October 3, 2026) and the Senate aggregate (as of October 1, 2026) each carry no row for this name, so this audit records no congressional transaction for this name in any aggregate and names no member; the lens is reported as none in the summary table and in the text, as this series requires for an empty lens.
- Short interest lens: FINRA Equity Short Interest files (biweekly settlement dates), collected directly from FINRA's public distribution. The series is every row under symbol VMC (market class NYSE on all 137 rows), and the issuer-name field appears in a single spelling — "Vulcan Materials Company(Holdi" on all 137 rows, the FINRA field as collected — covering 137 settlements from January 15, 2021 (first row in our files for this symbol) to September 15, 2026, with all 137 settlement dates distinct. The latest reading is 5,543,643 shares on September 15, 2026, down 1.28% from the prior settlement — and the series maximum, 6,549,851 shares, was set on July 15, 2026, so the latest reading sits 15.4% below the peak, down 7.7% from the June 30, 2026 settlement of 6,009,130 and up 46.2% from the year-ago settlement of 3,792,141 on September 15, 2025, at 5.12 days to cover. The series minimum is 1,040,862 on February 12, 2021. Series discontinuity check: no single-settlement step in the series reaches 2 times (the largest step is 1.523x, on April 15, 2025), no step falls to 0.5 times or below, and our own daily price file holds no single-day move of 1.5 times or more, or 0.6 times or less, anywhere in its history. Two rows in the series carry a FINRA revision flag (April 15, 2021 and June 15, 2021); no row carries a stock-split flag. The full series is published as collected, with no smoothing or rebasing. The recent path runs 6,009,130 (June 30), 6,549,851 (July 15), 6,124,440 (July 31), 6,367,990 (August 14), 5,615,575 (August 31) and 5,543,643 (September 15). FINRA publishes each settlement about two weeks after the fact, so the October price action is not yet in this series. The share-count ratio (4.27%) uses the fundamentals file's shares-outstanding figure below.
- Fundamentals note: our fundamentals collection carries Vulcan Materials' revenue of $7,941,100,000, net income of $1,076,700,000 and assets of $16,700,400,000, all labelled fiscal 2025, so this name carries no fiscal-vintage split; the revenue figure is sourced to the company-facts RevenueFromContractWithCustomerExcludingAssessedTax tag, and the net income and assets figures to the financial-series cache. The file is marked ok for this name, with no missing fields: shares outstanding of 129,754,885 (shares-end date April 21, 2026, from the DEI EntityCommonStockSharesOutstanding tag) and a file-computed market value of $32,289,503,924.21. The file does not flag the issuer as a foreign private issuer, and it carries SIC 1400, Mining & Quarrying of Nonmetallic Minerals (No Fuels), and a NYSE listing. The file's price for the name is $248.85 as of October 6, 2026; our daily-close file ends October 2, 2026 at $243.06, and we keep the two files' figures separate rather than blending them.
- Prices: our own daily-close file for VMC through October 2, 2026 ($243.06 close, -14.8% year to date on that file; the 252-session closing high is $330.37 on February 10, 2026, so the last close sits 26.4% below it; the 252-session closing low is $240.83 on September 18, 2026, so the last close sits 0.9% above it; closes of $272.30 at March 31, 2026 and $295.01 at June 30, 2026, a second-quarter change of +8.3%; change from June 30 to October 2 of -17.6%; change from the September 30, 2025 close of $307.62 of -21.0%). The series in our price file begins June 1, 2021 at $183.62 and holds 1,342 rows.

Figures we could not confirm were left out; the external items above are reported speech from that outlet, not GetCoattail measurements, and none of its price figures are cited in this audit beyond the screener's printed target and market value as reported in The Hype.
