Brian Brophy’s rating is based on Titan America SA’s strategic positioning to significantly expand its domestic cement production by approximately 25% by 2030. This growth is largely attributed to the company’s ability to lower its clinker mix, supported by a forward-thinking management team, a successful track record from its parent company, and vertical integration with concrete operations. Additionally, state Department of Transportation approvals in Florida and Virginia, along with the ability to increase supply of supplementary cementitious materials, bolster TTAM’s growth prospects.
Despite some near-term challenges such as rising natural gas prices and a decline in housing permits in Florida, TTAM’s strong market presence in Florida and Virginia positions it well for future growth. Florida, accounting for about 60% of TTAM’s sales, is expected to experience significant population and volume growth. Furthermore, the company’s focus on producing greener cement with a lower clinker mix has attracted early adopter technology customers, enhancing its competitive edge in the market.
