Martin Marietta raised its guidance for the year amid record-high public budgets for infrastructure and manufacturing, which are expected to offset a weaker environment for residential construction.

The maker of building materials, including aggregates and cement, said Thursday that it expects to post full-year revenue of $6.73 billion to $6.86 billion. Three months ago, the company guided for revenue of up to $6.82 billion.

The company's outlook comes as it reports a 11% rise in revenue in the second quarter, driven by higher prices.

"This scenario, combined with continued commercial momentum and moderating cost inflation, should contribute to a record-setting year in 2023 and provide a solid foundation for an even brighter 2024 and beyond," Chief Executive Ward Nye said.
