Description: CX Cemex SAB de CV January 02, 2026
CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: CX) is a Mexico-based, globally diversified builder of construction materials, producing cement, ready-mix concrete, aggregates, and a suite of urban-development solutions. Its product portfolio spans gray and white Portland cement, specialty blends for oil-well applications, a wide array of concrete mixes (including rapid-setting, fiber-reinforced, and antibacterial types), and recycled-content aggregates, complemented by logistics, engineering, waste-management, and prefabricated construction services.
Key quantitative points (2023 FY): total revenue ≈ $15.5 bn, EBITDA margin ≈ 12 %, and a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of roughly 3.1×, reflecting a capital-intensive balance sheet but steady cash generation. The business is heavily influenced by macro-drivers such as global infrastructure spending (projected ~4 % CAGR through 2028), residential construction cycles in the United States and Europe, and the industry’s transition toward lower-carbon clinker substitutes and alternative fuels, which can affect both cost structure and regulatory risk.
