- In context
The company introduces the Sharper EDGE program, committing $125 million over three years to improve aggregate gross profit by $1 per ton, and signals a South Dakota expansion adding 1 million tons annually by H1 2027. These long-term catalysts provide a counterbalance to immediate headwinds in contracting margins (expected 8-9% for H2) and a significant drop in Idaho bid lettings.
