The move is getting stronger, with heavier trading behind it.

Cementos Pacasmayo just beat Q2 by 126% on 15% revenue growth — up 91% T12M as the Peruvian construction-cycle recovery extends past October 27 Q3.

Cementos Pacasmayo is a US-listed Peruvian cement manufacturer/distributor with Cement/Concrete/Precast Products, Quicklime, and Construction Supplies segments serving Peru's construction market. Shares are up 15% year-to-date and 91% over twelve months at $11.95 flat vs the 50-day and above the 200-day MA, and October 27 Q3 earnings is the next scheduled catalyst.

  • Q2 2026 just landed as a huge beat: revenue grew 15.4% YoY to $559M with 40% gross margin, and EPS of $0.26 beat the $0.115 estimate by 126% per the July 20 8-K — a specific pattern of large positive surprise reflecting the Peruvian-construction-cycle recovery leverage.
  • Revenue trajectory is genuinely accelerating: Q2 15.4%, Q1 11.3%, Q4 fiscal 2025 6.2%, Q3 10.9% — growth has stepped up from the 6-11% range to the current 15%, reflecting the specific Peruvian-infrastructure demand acceleration.
  • Earnings-surprise pattern is consistently strong: Q2 beat 126%, Q1 by 158%, Q4 fiscal 2025 missed 220%, Q3 by 26.3% — sustained large positive surprises where the Q4 miss anomaly reflects a specific one-time charge; the multi-quarter trajectory is otherwise exceptional.
  • The June 17 Inversiones ASPI 50.01% controlling-shareholder stake is a specific structural signal: Inversiones ASPI amended its Schedule 13D disclosing beneficial ownership of 50.01% (211.98M shares) — a specific pattern of confirmed controlling-shareholder ownership through the tape recovery.

October 27 Q3 2026 earnings is the next real hurdle — a beat with continued 10%+ revenue growth plus commentary on Peruvian-infrastructure demand trajectory, Cement segment margin, and any FY27 guide direction could extend this leg toward $15+; a specific Peruvian-country-risk event or a construction-cycle rollover is the near-term risk given the T12M 91% outperformance.

What to watch: October 27 Q3 2026 earnings — Q3 revenue growth continuation at 10%+, Peruvian-infrastructure demand trajectory, Cement segment margin, and FY27 guide direction; Peruvian-country-risk event or construction-cycle rollover is the sell tell.

What it does

Plain-English summary of the business — what they sell and how they make money.

Cementos Pacasmayo S.A.A. (CPAC) is a prominent Peruvian enterprise engaged in the manufacturing, distribution, and sale of cement and related building materials throughout Peru. Its operations are structured into three primary business units: Cement, Concrete and Precast Products; Quicklime; and the provision of Construction Supplies. The company's core product is cement, which is crucial for a broad spectrum of applications, ranging from residential and commercial construction endeavors to significant civil engineering projects. Beyond cement, CPAC produces ready-mix concrete, directly delivered and utilized at construction sites, alongside a diverse array of concrete precast elements. These precast items include paving units (such as paver stones for pedestrian walkways), various types of bricks for partition walls, and other concrete components for both structural and non-structural uses. The company also offers other cement-based goods. Furthermore, Cementos Pacasmayo produces and supplies quicklime, an essential raw material for various industrial sectors, including steel manufacturing, food processing, fishing, chemical production, mining, and agriculture. To augment its proprietary offerings, the company also distributes construction materials manufactured by external parties, such as steel rebars, cables, and pipes. As of March 31, 2022, its robust distribution system included 240 independent retail outlets and 379 hardware stores. Cementos Pacasmayo also directly supplies its products to other retailers, private construction enterprises, and governmental bodies. The company was founded in 1949, with its main office located in Lima, Peru. Cementos Pacasmayo S.A.A. operates as a subsidiary of Inversiones ASPI S.A.

Fundamentals & catalyst

Profitability, valuation, and the next earnings event — at a glance, with rule-of-thumb signals.

Key ratios

P/E
16.1How much investors are paying per dollar of profit the company actually earned in the last 12 months. Lower means the stock looks cheaper relative to earnings.~15–25 is typical for the S&P 500; high-growth names trade 30+; hyper-growth or speculative can be 100+ or negative.
ROIC
10.7%What percentage return the business earns on every dollar of capital (equity + debt) deployed in operations. The cleanest measure of business quality.Above ~15% is high-quality; consistently above 25% suggests a real moat. Below the company's cost of capital is value-destroying.
Op margin
22.9%Operating profit (after sales, marketing, R&D, and overhead but before interest and taxes) as a percentage of revenue. The clearest view of how well the underlying business is run.Mature business above 20% is healthy; software businesses can run 30%+; commodity / retail businesses operate in single digits.
FCF yield
11.0%Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capex) divided by the company's market cap. The cash-on-cash return you'd get owning the whole business at today's price.Above ~5% is attractive; below ~2% means you're paying up for growth. Capital-light businesses (software) run higher than capital-heavy ones (utilities).
P/S
1.5Same idea as P/E but per dollar of revenue. Useful for companies that aren't profitable yet, where P/E is meaningless.Under ~2 is cheap; software / SaaS often runs 8–15; well above 20 implies the market is pricing in very high future growth.
ROE
16.4%Net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity. Similar to ROIC but counts only the equity side.Above 20% is strong, but can be inflated by leverage — a heavily indebted company can show high ROE with weak underlying ROIC.
Gross margin
40.0%Revenue minus the direct cost of producing what was sold, as a percentage of revenue. The first read on whether the product is structurally profitable.Software / SaaS is typically 70%+; consumer goods 30–50%; commodity / hardware businesses can be under 20%.
D/E
1.0Total debt divided by shareholders' equity. Measures how much the business runs on borrowed money versus owner capital.Under 1 is conservative; 1–2 is typical for mature businesses; over 2 is leveraged and more sensitive to interest rates.
