FY20 guidance is bleak, given the housing construction downturn has as yet no end in sight and increased infrastructure construction is not sufficient to offset. The suspension of the dividend also came as no shock, but an intent to acquire and build out an integrated, infrastructure-oriented business model carries risk and reduces dividend prospects near-term.

The results suggest continuing strong sales momentum and stable margins across the business.

  • Unemployment Insurance and Takeovers*
    Unemployment Insurance and Takeovers* Lixiong Guo† University of Alabama Jing Kong‡ Michigan State University Ronald W. Masulis§ University of New South Wales December 11, 2019 Abstract We examine whether unemployment insurance (UI) mitigates shareholder-employee conflicts of interest and improves takeover market efficiency. Exploiting within state changes in UI benefits, we find that increased target state UI benefits raise acquisition likelihoods, expected deal synergies, and gains to both acquirer and target shareholders. UI effects on acquisition likelihood are stronger in highly unionized industries, in firms with concentrated employee ownership, and in firms with employee friendly boards. The passage of directors’ duties laws increases the UI effect on acquisition likelihood. Lastly, increased acquirer state UI benefits raise acquirer returns and likelihood of acquirers making within-industry acquisitions.
