Cemex SAB ( (CX) ) has provided an announcement.

On February 26, 2026, Cemex hosted its 2026 Analyst Day in Monterrey, where management unveiled its 2025–2027 business plan, Project Cutting Edge Sprint, and outlined medium-term financial and operational goals. The company targets annual sales growth of about 5% and EBITDA growth of about 10% for 2026–2027, expects its Free Cash Flow from Operations to EBITDA conversion to reach 47% by 2027, and projects a 170-basis-point improvement in return on invested capital versus 2025.

Cemex also stepped up its shareholder-return strategy, proposing a cash dividend of US$180 million for the upcoming shareholders’ meeting, roughly 40% higher than the prior year, and outlining plans to repurchase up to US$500 million of shares over three years, on top of more than US$100 million already bought back. In line with a disciplined capital allocation and a focus on bolt-on deals in the U.S., Cemex agreed to acquire Omega Products International, a leading western U.S. stucco producer generating about US$23 million in annual EBITDA, reinforcing its U.S. aggregates and mortars platform and signaling continued expansion in value-added building materials.
