I spent a Saturday awhile back reading through the fast act after it was repeatedly mentioned by the ceo in GVA's conference calls. Basically the first year is a wash for letting out contracts, so essentially/potentially
$300B could be spent between now and the end of 2020.
I think that could possibly be increased through further legislation. The major state roads around me are like donkey paths, as is much of the country.
I ended up with 2/3rds (2 buys) of a position in GVA, averaged @ 46.34, thought about selling yesterday at 56 and probably should have but we'll see. Small float on this one so it isn't without volatility and probably isn't much of a value stock. Has a decent backlog which go go quite a bit higher as things move along.
As well as being a construction co, they are a material supplier as well. A huge benefit in that is being able to schedule their own required materials for in house projects. Aggregate will be a common denominator in all these projects. All this was going to happen regardless of the election, so I was surprised in the pop in the sector yesterday.
