A decrease in sales from the Cement and Ready-Mixed Concrete segments hurt Monarch Cement's (MCEM) earnings in Q2.
The Monarch Cement Company is a healthy, growing business with a net cash position and that's trading at a discount. First quarter results show significant revenue growth, particularly in the ready mixed concrete business, though recently reported second quarter results were less impressive. The company's strong balance sheet, lack of debt, and cheap valuation make it a compelling investment with a 'strong buy' rating.
