Cemex stock (ISIN MXP225611567) was trading at USD 9.88 on the NYSE on October 6, 2026 at 12:06 p.m. ET, up 3.62 percent from the previous close of USD 9.54. The next quarterly report is scheduled for October 26, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance.

Q2 growth outpaced sales

Cemex reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of USD 4.59 billion, up 12 percent year over year, and quarterly earnings per share of USD 0.24, according to MarketBeat in its September 16, 2026 report.

Operating EBITDA reached a record USD 1.02 billion, a 24 percent increase, while the operating EBITDA margin widened to 22.2 percent, The Rio Times reported on October 1, 2026. EBITDA growth was twice the revenue growth rate, making cost control and pricing more important than sales expansion alone.

Cemex describes its operations as centered on cement, ready-mix concrete, aggregates and urbanization solutions in more than 50 countries, according to its Cemex investor-relations page.

Consensus target sits above price

MarketBeat reported a Moderate Buy consensus from 12 analysts on September 16, 2026, including seven Buy ratings and five Hold ratings. The average 12-month price target was USD 13.0667, which lies 32.3 percent above the October 6 price of USD 9.88.

The analyst view contrasts with the stock's position below its 52-week high. A move toward the consensus target would require the market to sustain the stronger EBITDA trajectory beyond the second quarter.

October report tests guidance

Management raised its 2026 operating EBITDA growth guidance to 16 percent to 17 percent, according to The Rio Times on October 1, 2026. The October 26 report will show whether the higher earnings pace remains visible through the second half.

For investors, the key comparison is operational: second-quarter revenue rose 12 percent, while operating EBITDA rose 24 percent. That gap supports the case for margin expansion, but it also raises the importance of volume, energy costs and demand in Cemex's US and Mexican markets.
