In its outlook for the year, shared in its first-half earnings report in September, the company had stated that it expected the cement market to remain favorable for the remainder of the year.
"Positive impacts are expected from the organization of the UEFA Cup of Nations and the 2030 FIFA World Cup on the infrastructure segment, the implementation of the direct housing assistance program in the construction segment and major ongoing investment project," the company had said in September.
