Aggregates pricing power is a structural positive, but US-listing overhang and construction-cycle exposure keep the multiple muted. |

Screen Context
Context: profitable names pinned to their 52-week lows
As of the latest session, roughly 260 profitable US stocks sit within 5% of their 52-week low — a cluster that skews cheap and out-of-favor rather than broken. The median P/E for the group is around 17x with a ~10% median net margin, so these are genuinely earnings-generative businesses trading at market-or-below multiples, not speculative shells. The trade-off is clear: the average member is down more than 20% over the past twelve months and has already slipped below its 150-day average, meaning the market is pricing in peak-cycle worries, demand normalization, or company-specific damage rather than a broad risk-off tape.
Where the cluster is concentrated: building materials and construction-linked industrials (CRH, Martin Marietta, Amrize, Eagle Materials, Builders FirstSource), auto dealerships (AutoNation, Asbury, Group 1), mortgage REITs and mortgage finance, and homebuilders — sectors levered to rates and housing turnover. A second pocket is defensive or steady cash generators (Copart, Charter, Smithfield) that de-rated on company-specific setbacks rather than industry collapse.
How to read it — and the trap: the deep-discount tail (single-digit P/Es, double-digit drawdowns) carries real value-trap risk, where declines in revenue growth or structural pressure justify the cheapness. The higher-margin names offer a cleaner "quality on sale" setup: strong profitability, recognizable franchises, and a price that has already absorbed a lot of bad news but no confirmed floor. Momentum scores across the group are below average overall, consistent with names still searching for a base — so this is a watchlist-driven, selection-heavy exercise rather than a signal to buy the basket. Rate-sensitive housing and construction names skew the group; a genuine decline in long-end yields or a housing-turnover recovery would be the clearest catalyst to change the group's direction.
