Good morning,
Investing in infrastructure stocks is a proven way to build a long-term portfolio of defensive stocks. And among infrastructure options, concrete stocks can put your portfolio on a firm footing (pun intended).
Concrete stocks include companies that make the finished product (I.e. concrete) that is used to pour foundations and construct roads and bridges. And it also includes the companies that make cement which will ultimately turn into concrete.
These stocks do carry some seasonal and macroeconomic risks. But in general, demand remains relatively constant.
Concrete is literally the foundation for many infrastructure projects. And with global attention being paid to an aging infrastructure, concrete, and concrete stocks are likely to have a long runway for global growth. According to Allied Market Research, demand for concrete is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of over 4.5% until 2030. At that time the market is expected to reach $972 billion by 2030.
That’s why we’ve prepared this special presentation that looks at seven of the leading companies in the concrete industry. Many of these stocks are low beta stocks, but that shouldn’t steer you away. In many cases, these stocks offer a dividend that can boost your total return in both bull and bear markets.
If you’re looking for some foundational stocks for your long-term growth portfolio, these are some names to consider.

Low beta stocks are equities that have a beta coefficient less than 1, which signifies that they are generally less volatile than the overall stock market. The beta coefficient measures the sensitivity of a stock's price movements in relation to the broader market, typically represented by a market index like the S&P 500. A stock with a beta of 1 moves in tandem with the market, a stock with a beta greater than 1 is more volatile than the market, and a stock with a beta less than 1 is less volatile.
Characteristics of Low Beta Stocks:
-
Stability: These stocks are generally considered safer and more stable, as they are less affected by market swings.
-
Defensive Nature: Low beta stocks often belong to sectors that are relatively immune to economic cycles, such as utilities, healthcare, and consumer staples. These industries provide essential services or goods that consumers need regardless of economic conditions.
-
Dividends: Low beta stocks often pay consistent dividends, providing a reliable income stream for investors.
-
Limited Upside: While they are less sensitive to market downturns, low beta stocks usually offer lower potential for high returns compared to high beta stocks.
-
Diversification: They can serve as a good diversification tool, helping to balance out more risky, high-beta stocks in a portfolio.
