The latest update is out from Holcim ( (CH:HOLN) ).

Holcim has agreed to acquire Cemex’s building materials and solutions operations in Colombia, adding more than 20 production sites including the Caracolito cement plant and Santa Rosa grinding station. The deal significantly enlarges Holcim’s existing Colombian footprint of one cement plant, multiple ready-mix and aggregates facilities, and over 150 Disensa retail outlets.

The USD 485 million transaction targets projected 2026 net sales of around USD 360 million and implies a pro forma 2026 EBITDA multiple of about 5x after run-rate synergies of roughly USD 30 million expected by year three. Positioned as EPS accretive in the first year and ROIC accretive by year three, the acquisition strengthens Holcim’s Latin American presence and aligns with its NextGen Growth 2030 strategy and disciplined capital allocation, pending customary regulatory approvals expected by year-end.
