Quikrete Industry Dashboard

A year ago, the Covid 19 pandemic began to shut down businesses, and a fog of uncertainty settled on corporate America.

Who knew that March 11, 2020 to be precise, was a very good day to invest in hardware and building supply stocks?

The latest version of the Quikrete Industry Dashboard, based on March 11 data, shows no fewer than four ticker symbols flying high with triple-digit annual growth. Three are hovering around the 150% growth mark – DE, BLDR and BECN.

Elsewhere on the Quikrete Industry Dashboard, gas prices rose to $2.83 per gallon of regular, up from $2.49 a month ago.

Next up: The government will release data for monthly retail sales on March 16, and residential construction on March 17.
