NEW YORK, Nov 25 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Quikrete is buying building materials peer Summit at a so-so multiple, despite a rush of subsidy-bolstered US construction. If the pace keeps up amid easing interest rates, it’s smart vertical integration. If a new Trump era wrecks that forecast, there are obvious units to sell.

Full view will be published shortly.

CONTEXT NEWS

Summit Materials said on Nov. 25 it had agreed to be acquired by Quikrete in a deal valued at $11.5 billion, including debt. The purchase price, at $52.50 a share in cash, represents a 29% premium to Summit’s closing price before Reuters reported news of talks between the companies in October.

Quikrete is a privately-held company based in Georgia, and one of the largest manufacturers of packaged concrete and cement in North America.

Summit makes construction materials including cement, ready-mix concrete and aggregates.
