Argentina’s largest cement producer cites delayed infrastructure projects for a 1.4% YoY drop in Q2 volumes.
Loma Negra reported a Q2 2026 EBITDA margin of 20.2%, down from prior levels, as cement volumes fell 1.4% year-over-year. Management attributed the decline to slower-than-expected industry momentum in the quarter.
The company expects volumes to rebound in the second half of 2026, driven by the implementation of Argentina’s RIGI investment regime and new road concessions. Comparable period volumes had shown modest growth in prior quarters.
