Description: CX Cemex SAB de CV October 30, 2025
CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: CX) is a Mexico-based, globally diversified construction materials producer that manufactures and sells cement, ready-mix concrete, aggregates, and a range of urbanization and waste-management services through an integrated network of subsidiaries.
The firm’s product slate includes gray and white Portland cement, oil-well and blended cements, as well as specialty concrete mixes such as rapid-setting, fiber-reinforced, self-consolidating, pervious, and antibacterial varieties. It also markets aggregates (crushed stone, manufactured sand, gravel, recycled concrete) and “vertua” solutions, complemented by logistics, pavement, design-engineering, and industrial construction services.
In 2023 CEMEX reported revenue of roughly $15.5 billion, an adjusted EBITDA margin of 13 %, and a net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 2.5×, reflecting a modest improvement in profitability and leverage after a year of price-adjustments and cost-control initiatives.
Key drivers of the business include global cement demand growth of about 5 % YoY, accelerated by infrastructure spending in the United States and emerging-market urbanization; rising input costs for energy and clinker-substitutes, which pressure margins; and a sector-wide shift toward low-carbon “green” cement, where CEMEX’s alternative raw-material solutions could provide a competitive edge.
