$TTAM: Stan Druckenmiller and Chris Hohn long concrete. Titan America is a vertically integrated East Coast cement/building-materials platform with leading positions in Florida (~31%), Virginia/North Carolina (~30%) and Metro New York (~24%). Its moat is physical: scarce permitted cement capacity, quarries, marine terminals, rail, ready-mix and downstream distribution. The business generated $1.66B of revenue and $390M of adjusted EBITDA in 2025, and 2025 ROCE was 19.5%. The major change in 2026 is Keystone. Titan closed the $310M acquisition in May, adding 990K tons of clinker capacity and >50 years of mineral reserves. Keystone contributed ~$20M of Q2 revenue; Titan is targeting ≥$30M of annual run-rate synergies by 2029. Mid-Atlantic Q2 revenue/EBITDA rose 27%/30%, partly driven by Keystone, while Florida EBITDA fell 19% because of Pennsuco maintenance and import-logistics disruptions. The construction backdrop is softer than the old table suggested: U.S. construction spending was down 3.8% YoY in July 2026, and ACA expects cement consumption to fall 2.5% in 2026 before turning positive in 2027. The bright spots are data centers and infrastructure: July 2026 AIA consensus calls for data-center construction growth of 33% in 2026 and 24.7% in 2027, while nonresidential overall is -0.3% / +3.0%. At $13.85 on September 25, TTAM has ~$2.55B of market cap and ~$3.09B of EV against $393.7M of TTM adjusted EBITDA, or ~7.9x EV/EBITDA. A reference peer group is around ~12.4x. Your replacement-cost framework of ~$4.2B ex-logistics therefore equates to ~$1.1B above current EV; after net debt, roughly ~$3.7B of equity value versus ~$2.6B today. The key debate is no longer whether Keystone is cheap on capacity—it is whether Titan can actually turn that capacity into normalized EBITDA through utilization, pricing and network synergies.
