Industrias Peñoles stock was trading at MXN 888.93 on the Mexican Stock Exchange at 8:24 a.m. CST on October 6, 2026, down 0.18 percent from the previous close. The latest company-specific development is a Supreme Court ruling that denied Peñoles and several subsidiaries access to a diesel tax incentive tied to 2019 fiscal rules, as El Fondo reported on October 3, 2026.

Tax ruling adds a legal risk

The court backed Rule 9.16 of the 2019 Miscellaneous Fiscal Resolution by seven votes. The rule sets conditions for claiming the diesel and biodiesel incentive, including proof of a mining concession, qualifying income and compliance with mining duties, according to El CEO in its October 2, 2026 report.

The ruling concerns a dispute that began in 2019 and does not change the company's operating revenue or production figures directly. For shareholders, the relevant issue is the potential loss of a tax benefit and the legal finality of the Supreme Court decision.

Q2 earnings delivered a sharper comparison

Industrias Peñoles reported USD 642.01 million in net income for the second quarter of 2026, compared with USD 333.25 million in the second quarter of 2025, a 92.7 percent increase, according to Simply Wall St.

The same quarterly review put revenue at USD 2,886.94 million and adjusted earnings per share at USD 1.62. Investing.com reported an EPS estimate of USD 1.46 and a revenue estimate of USD 3.12 billion for the latest release dated August 4, 2026, so earnings per share exceeded consensus while revenue fell short of the published forecast.

Analyst target remains above the quote

Investing.com lists four Buy ratings, zero Hold ratings and one Sell rating from five analysts, producing an overall Buy consensus and an average 12-month price target of MXN 948.00, as shown in its September 24, 2026 financial summary. That target lies 6.6 percent above the MXN 888.93 reference price.

The contrast is clear: second-quarter net income grew 92.7 percent year over year, while the court ruling creates a separate tax-related counter-factor. The stock's 52-week range runs from MXN 707.01 to MXN 1,229.96, leaving the October 6 quote 27.7 percent below the yearly high.

Peñoles stock stays below its yearly high
