Quikrete Industry Dashboard

The latest weekly edition of the Quikrete Industry Dashboard shows existing-home sales heading in the wrong direction in June, after a surge in May. Of the three major residential construction/sales charts, only “Total starts” shows a year-over-year increase.

Hardware and building supply stocks are doing well, with eight of the 10 companies tracked, in the top right growth quadrant of the Stock Watch.

Gas prices, as measured by the American Automobile Association, are holding steady – higher than the prior month, lower than the prior year.
