Peru’s Cementos Pacasmayo is expected to see a two per cent YoY drop in output volumes in 3Q14, according to investment bank JP Morgan. However, the cement producer is forecast to rebound in the 4Q14 by two per cent and recorded gains of eight and nine per cent in 2015 and 2016, respectively.
The bank also has good news for Cementos Pacasmayo’s EBITDA margin as it foresees a 0.6 percentage point rise in 2015 to settle at 28.9 per cent.
After a challenging nine months, the Peruvian construction market is anticipated to recover faster at the end of this year as the country’s economic growth accelerates and infrastructure projects are coming back online.
