#4 - CEMEX (NYSE:CX)
CEMEX SAB de CV (NYSE: CX) may be an appealing option for investors looking for a mid-cap name in this sector. As of May 29, 2023, CEMEX has a market cap of just over $9 billion. Plus, as of that date, the company had a low P/E ratio of just over 10x earnings.
CEMEX is carving out a spot in this sector as a leader in sustainable concrete production. At a time when there’s a heightened awareness of climate change, it may surprise you to know that cement production accounts for approximately 7% of global CO2 emissions. CEMEX is working to reduce that carbon footprint with its Vertua family of products that features “sustainability attributes like energy efficiency, resource efficiency, among others, with a low or neutral CO2 footprint.”.
CX stock is up 5.88% in the last five years and it doesn’t pay a dividend. You’re also getting a little more volatility with CX stock. It has a beta of 1.47. But among concrete stocks, CEMEX may offer investors a higher upside that justifies the added risk.
