Argentina: Loma Negra, the leading cement producer in Argentina, has announced results for the three-month period that ended on 30 September 2026. The company reported net sales of US$177m, down by 3.2% year-on-year. The decline was driven primarily by a 23.2% year-on-year drop in the concrete segment and a 1.8% year-on-year decrease in the cement sector. It recorded a 16.2% year-on-year increase in adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EDITDA) to US$42m. Sales volumes for cement, masonry cement and lime decreased by 6.3% year-on-year to 1.28Mt/yr, heavily impacted by winter rains in July and August 2026.
