This summary was created by AI, based on 1 opinions in the last 12 months.

Cemex SA (CX-N) has exhibited impressive performance in the Latin American markets, outshining many of its peers in the S&P 500 over the past year. The company's stock is currently in a strong uptrend, with a rising percentage of stocks also showing positive momentum, a contrast to trends seen in the US market. Cemex's relative performance indices are performing well, benefiting from the broader positive movement in the ILF ETF for Latin America, which is trading favorably above its moving averages. As a dominant player in Mexico, Cemex stands to gain from tariff situations that favor manufacturing expansion in Mexico and Canada. Experts suggest that investors should consider buying at this juncture, given its current bullish trajectory and status as a top performer in its sector.

HOLD
(Market Call Minute.) Not his favourite.
PARTIAL BUY
Will be able to maintain its standing as it is not in a credit crunch. The global slowdown in housing affected the stock. Operating margins are still in the teens so have plenty of free cash flow to continue to pay down debt. Historically, cement companies get cheap at around 5 to 6 times earnings and expensive around 12 times. They are trading around 6X right now. In this environment, by a half position.
TOP PICK
Incredibly cheap. On track to generate roughly $3 billion in free cash flow this year. That equates to nearly 20% of the current stock price. Strong competitive position.
BUY
Trades between 6 and 12 times earnings, generally. Are at 8x now. May take a while for the business to turn around. Cash flow from operations is very strong. We are developing a base at these levels. Margins rose 12% in last quarter.
DON'T BUY
Concrete manufacturer. Cut back on building foundations has decreased stock price. Would rather own a pure play in infrastructure such as Aecon Group (ARE-T), Stantec (STN-T) or SNC Lavalin (SNC-T). Could drop another $5.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Great global play on infrastructure spending about vulnerable in the near term. She is watching it very carefully and looking to buy in the $19-$20 range.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Very strong global player. Has been hit with the slowdown in the US. Would consider buying at about $22.
DON'T BUY
3rd largest cement manufacturer globally. Has been hurt because 30%-40% of revenues is from the US. Dividend yield of 3%-3.5%. Wait until it gets to $18-$21 before buying.
PARTIAL BUY
Long-term outlook for the company is extremely strong, as are all of the cement companies. There is sluggishness right now because of the US housing market of which they have 46% sales. Dominate the Mexican and Latin American markets and are paying off the debt from their Rinker (?) acquisition. Expect the dividend to stay the same or rise. Fairly cheap. Start with a half position.
BUY
This falls into a global infrastructure play. 2nd or 3rd biggest cement company globally. His choice had been Lafarge (LAF-T).
BUY
Cement maker with markets predominantly in the US and Mexico but also have European and now Australian and Asian markets. The housing market in the US has hurt them with sales on the residential side been down about 9%. The non-residential side has been growing. They'll probably have their debt paid off in 2 years time. Extremely cheap. Dividend yield of about 2.25%.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 29/06. Up 40.5%.) Continuing to buy. Concrete is their bailiwick and this is important for infrastructure. Based in Mexico, but operate in the US and Europe as well.
BUY
A good cash generator. They've locked up the Mexican market. A pure play cement company. Exposure to South America. Not a bad entry point at all, for a long term investment.
BUY
Coming towards its resistance point now. Feels there is a lot of momentum behind the story. Has a 7%-8% risk on the downside but maybe 15%-20% on the upside.
STRONG BUY
#3 global cement company. Bulk of its revenue is from outside of Mexico but still suffers from an emerging market discount. Short-term outlook will be a little mixed because of concerns on its US housing exposure. Long-term Outlook is going to be fantastic.
