ROAD Slides Pre-Market as Construction Partners Confronts Oil Price Issue

Construction Partners Inc. traded almost unchanged in early Tuesday action, sitting at $114.73 according to Google Finance, after closing Monday at $114.74, down 1.49%. The road builder dropped Monday as traders considered higher oil-linked costs and a backlog that remains strong. The timing is notable since there hasn’t been any new company release or SEC filing to move the story. The investor-relations page for Construction Partners still showed its most recent news was the May 8 fiscal Q2 report. The most recent 10-Q and 8-K filings were also dated May 8.

Oil prices slip on surprise U.S. crude build as Iran talks, OPEC+ meeting loom

Houston, Feb 25, 2026, 13:02 CST — Regular session Oil slipped on Wednesday, pressured by a hefty increase in U.S. crude inventories that chipped away at the Middle East risk premium. Brent dropped 12 cents, or 0.2%, to $70.65 a barrel as of 11:16 a.m. ET. U.S. West Texas Intermediate lost 26 cents, roughly 0.4%, to trade at $65.37. “A bearish report with a large crude build,” said UBS’s Giovanni Staunovo, who noted geopolitics continue to steer the market. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/oil-prices-hover-near-seven-month-highs-ahead-us-iran-talks-2026-02-25/

Oil prices jump as Hormuz fears flare again — Brent nears $70, WTI rallies

New York, Feb 18, 2026, 13:49 EST — Regular session Oil jumped more than 3% Wednesday after Iranian state media said sections of the Strait of Hormuz were temporarily closed for military drills, and Fars, a semi-official outlet, reported Iran and Russia plan joint naval exercises Thursday. Russia-Ukraine talks in Geneva didn’t yield progress. Brent crude traded up $2.38, or 3.53%, at $69.80 a barrel as of 12:09 p.m. ET. U.S. West Texas Intermediate added $2.39, or 3.83%, reaching $64.72. “The big moves in oil prices today are being solely driven by geopolitics,” Lipow Oil Associates president Andrew Lipow said. SEB’s Bjarne Schieldrop commented, “Iran has time to negotiate in calmness.”

Oil prices slide on U.S.-Iran talk progress; Brent hits two-week low before inventory data

New York, February 17, 2026, 12:52 EST — Regular session Oil prices came under pressure Tuesday, with Brent dropping roughly 2%—putting it on track for its softest finish in two weeks—as Iran hinted at movement in nuclear negotiations with the U.S. Brent crude lost $1.41, or 2.1%, hitting $67.24 a barrel by 11:50 a.m. EST. U.S. West Texas Intermediate slipped 65 cents to $62.24, down 1%, after earlier price swings of over a dollar. “Sharp two-way swings” are probably here to stay, given that diplomacy is in the driver's seat now, not demand, said Sugandha Sachdeva, founder of SS WealthStreet.
