Grupo Carso stock was trading at MXN 143.99 on the BMV on October 6, 2026, up 1.83 percent from the prior close of MXN 141.40. The move follows second-quarter results that showed higher sales and controlling net income, while operating profit remained under pressure.

Second-quarter profit rises

According to Sureste Mx on July 28, 2026, Grupo Carso reported controlling net income of MXN 2.964 billion for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 10.6 percent from the same period a year earlier. Consolidated revenue reached MXN 48.194 billion, up 3.9 percent year over year.

The earnings mix was less uniform. Operating profit came in at MXN 5.116 billion, below MXN 6.372 billion in the second quarter of 2025, while EBITDA fell to MXN 7.184 billion from MXN 8.524 billion. The comparison was affected by an extraordinary gain in the prior-year period related to the sale of US cement operations.

Energy deals add a growth angle

Grupo Carso's energy exposure also expanded during 2026. The company announced an agreement on July 16 to acquire a 30 percent interest from TotalEnergies in Block 30 of the Salina Basin, subject to regulatory approvals, according to Sureste Mx. The same report said Grupo Carso agreed in May to purchase an additional 5 percent of the Zama oil field for USD 75.25 million, taking its eventual stake to 17.84 percent.

That expansion comes with balance-sheet implications. At the end of June 2026, total debt stood at MXN 42.482 billion and net debt at MXN 16.901 billion, equal to 0.69 times trailing-twelve-month EBITDA, according to the July 28 report. The figures give investors a direct counterweight to the stronger quarterly net income.

Stock remains below yearly high

At MXN 143.99, Grupo Carso stock was 8.86 percent below its 52-week high of MXN 158.00 and 27.31 percent above its 52-week low of MXN 113.10 on October 6, 2026. The current market capitalization was MXN 324.4 billion, while trading volume stood at 25,501 shares.

The stock's immediate market signal is positive, but the earnings detail points to a mixed operating picture: revenue and controlling net income increased, while operating profit and EBITDA declined against the prior-year comparison. The energy portfolio therefore provides the forward-looking angle, while margins and debt remain key measures for the next report.
