Cemex Q4 Earnings Rise Amid Net Loss on Impairments

Cemex reported a 11% increase in Q4 sales to $4.18 billion, driven by higher cement and aggregates prices and volumes. EBITDA rose 16% to $781 million, while operating profit increased 22% to $457 million. However, the company reported a net loss of $356 million due to goodwill impairment and asset writedowns. For 2026, Cemex expects EBITDA growth in the high single digits and plans to spend up to $500 million on share buybacks over three years.
