Upturn Advisory & Investor View for CPAC

10/26/2026: CPAC (4-star) is a STRONG-BUY. BUY for 90 days. Simulated Profits (0.55%). Updated daily EoD!

Cementos Pacasmayo is a regionally-focused cement and construction materials producer with a strong, well-established distribution network in northern Peru. The company benefits from its integrated product portfolio, which includes cement, concrete, and precast solutions, and it is a key supplier for both infrastructure and self-construction markets. While it holds a leading position in its core region, the company faces risks from intense import competition, energy cost volatility, and sensitivity to Peruvian macroeconomic cycles. It may suit value-oriented investors who prioritize regional franchises, though they should carefully monitor infrastructure spending trends and dividend policy stability. Future growth depends heavily on the execution of regional construction projects.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
CPAC receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid quantitative characteristics. The rating is constrained by soft analyst coverage, weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
CPAC has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and soft ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid cash generation (FCF margin 11.5%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-22.5%), moderate revenue growth (+7.0%), soft profitability (net margin 7.3%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
CPAC's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (11.5% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is CPAC's strongest growth driver at +7.0% FY2025 versus FY2024 (moderate, 3 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-22.5%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-5.4%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 6.8% (soft) and 41.9% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable (moderate). Insider ownership is only 0.00%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
CPAC generates approximately $381 of gross profit, $201 of operating income, and $115 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Moderate margins and solid cash conversion support a 3-star rating, while capital efficiency is soft.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 42.46%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
CPAC has a high-quality, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
