Cemex to Report Third-Quarter Results on October 26 After 24% EBITDA Growth in Q2
Key Facts
Cemex will report its third-quarter 2026 results on Monday, October 26, and discuss them on a live webcast and conference call that day at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time, according to a company filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The upcoming release puts revenue, EBITDA and cash flow performance in focus after operating metrics improved in the second quarter. Sales then totaled 4,593 million dollars, up 12% year over year. Operating EBITDA also rose to 1,018 million dollars, up 24% year over year. Cemex attributed the progress to efficiencies from its Project Cutting Edge program and organic growth in most regions.
Second-quarter results showed EBITDA growth outpaced sales growth, with the former rising 24% versus a 12% increase in sales from the same period a year earlier. Operating EBITDA margin reached 22.2%, compared with 20.1% in the second quarter of 2025. Cemex said EBITDA reached a record level of more than one billion dollars, attributing the increase to "Project Cutting Edge efficiencies and organic growth in most regions." The performance provides the operating backdrop ahead of the third-quarter announcement, without determining the course of the new results. Markets are watching whether the reported figures will be consistent with this improvement and the company’s annual guidance.
In the second quarter, Cemex raised its full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA growth target to a range of 16%–17% year over year. That guidance makes the third-quarter results an important milestone in assessing the company’s progress toward its target, after it linked the previous quarter’s improvement to efficiency gains and organic growth. On credit, S&P Global Ratings revised its outlook on Cemex and its rated subsidiaries to positive from stable on September 3. The agency affirmed the issuer rating at BBB-. The outlook revision adds financial context to the results watch, alongside the operating metrics due on October 26.
Ahead of the results, an Investing.com table showed estimates of earnings per share of 0.237 dollars and revenue of 4,450 million dollars for the quarter ended in September 2026, with no actual figures recorded. For the comparable period in 2025, the table lists actual revenue of 4,250 million dollars, against an estimate of 4,280 million dollars. The prior comparison provides a reference for reading current-quarter estimates when the figures are released, but does not establish the 2026 result. Cemex is scheduled to discuss its results on a conference call and live webcast on October 26 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The published results and the company’s remarks on the call will provide the first opportunity to compare third-quarter performance with its annual guidance.
