Qualitative Analysis
Business overview
Arcosa, Inc. (NYSE: ACA) is a leading provider of infrastructure-related products and solutions for the construction, engineered structures, and transportation markets in the United States.

Construction Products produces aggregates, specialty materials, asphalt, and construction support gear. Engineered Structures manufactures steel and concrete structures for infrastructure, including utility structures for electricity transmission and distribution, structural wind towers, traffic and lighting structures, and telecommunication structures.
