Cemex stock (ISIN MXP225611567) was trading at EUR 0.87 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026, down 2.25 percent versus the prior close of EUR 0.89. As Ideal Investisseur reported on October 1, 2026, Vicat entered exclusive negotiations to acquire 48 Cemex concrete plants and 9 aggregate quarries in southeastern France.
Vicat targets Cemex operations
The proposed transaction covers Cemex Granulats Rhone Mediterranee, Cemex Beton Rhone Alpes and Cemex Beton Sud Est. The agreement remains subject to employee consultations and competition approval, with completion expected before December 31, 2026, according to Ideal Investisseur.
The French deal is a portfolio event rather than a new group-wide earnings forecast. Its significance lies in Cemex continuing to reshape assets while preserving capital for higher-priority growth markets.
Second-quarter figures set the benchmark
Cemex generated USD 4.59 billion in revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 12.00 percent from USD 4.09 billion a year earlier, according to Rio Times. Operating EBITDA increased 24.00 percent to USD 1.02 billion, while the operating EBITDA margin widened to 22.20 percent from 20.10 percent.
Management raised its full-year 2026 operating EBITDA growth outlook to 16.00-17.00 percent. The next reported test arrives on October 26, 2026, when Cemex is scheduled to publish third-quarter results, according to MarketBeat.
Stock trades below the prior close
The euro quotation was EUR 0.87 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 3:33 p.m. CEST, compared with a Lang & Schwarz prior close of EUR 0.89 on October 6, 2026. The move leaves the immediate market signal weaker even as the latest reported quarter showed double-digit revenue growth and a higher operating margin.
