Shares of Summit Materials jumped after The Wall Street Journal reported that its rival, Quikrete, is in advanced talks to buy the company.
Summit Materials stock rose 7.1%, to $51.84, in midday trading Thursday. Shares are up 26% since the beginning of the year.
Assuming talks don't fall apart, the deal could be announced as early next week, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.
Denver-based Summit has a market value of about $8.5 billion.
