Florida rockin'
Florida Rock is looking good out of the blocks this year. Net income in the first quarter was $42 million or 63 cents per share versus $30 million or 45 cents per share a year ago. Consolidated total sales rose 22% to $306 million from a year ago. Average selling prices and product volumes increased in all three of its industry segments. Gross profit rose 28.4% from a year ago to $89 million. Not to mention, the company acquired Grand Rivers Quarry, a newly developed limestone quarry on the Tennessee River in Western Kentucky. Nice start to the year. And as The Rolling Stones sang during halftime of the Super Bowl, "If you start me up I'll never stop." Your comment?
