It was a brutal day in the markets on Tuesday and the same held true for our Birmingham and Alabama Stock Report as all but six stocks lost ground. A few Birmingham-area companies had minimal gains: Vulcan Materials (.7%), ProAssurance (.5%), and U.S. Steel (.3%). But the big outlier around the state was Louisiana-Pacific Corp., which gained 2.8%. Founded in 1972, the Nashville-based company operates more than 20 manufacturing facilities across North and South America, including two in Alabama – one in Hanceville and one in Thomasville.
