Cemex’s South, Central America and Caribbean division, including Jamaica, posted US$66M operating EBITDA in Q2, up 34% year on year, with the sharpest margin expansion of any division. Free cash flow from operations rose to US$637M. The results come as Jamaica’s October 2025 hurricane Melissa damaged thousands of structures, while Cemex continues asset sales, including a US$928M Dominican Republic deal and an agreed Colombia disposal for about US$485M.

ABOUT

What is Fimmer?

Most feeds treat all company headlines the same. An executive interview, an office closure, stock analysis, and a data breach can sit side by side with no sense of scale. Fimmer ranks coverage by what matters, so important events stand out and signals are prioritised over noise. We cluster related company news and score each story using a range of metrics, so you see the most crucial stories first.

SCORING

What do the scores mean?

Significance (0–10) measures the scale of the real-world impact. Sentiment and ESG (−10 to +10) indicate the tone of the coverage and whether the change relates to environmental, social, or governance factors. Together, these scores help distinguish meaningful developments from routine company news. More information about our scoring methodology can be found on our About page.
