Cemex stock: Vicat advances talks for Southeast France assets

Vicat is in exclusive talks to acquire CEMEX's ready-mix concrete and aggregates activities in Southeast France, putting a regional asset transaction at the center of this week's investor focus. The details were published in Vicat's Q3 2026 trading update.

The proposed transaction covers 48 ready-mix concrete plants and nine aggregate quarries in the Rhone Valley and the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region. Vicat said the assets would strengthen its geographic footprint and create industrial, commercial and logistics synergies with its cement operations.

Asset talks shape the outlook

Vicat expects the acquisition to close before December 31, 2026, subject to approval by the French Competition Authority. For CEMEX, the proposal points to continued portfolio management in a mature European market, although the final financial terms and completion remain open.

Vicat also confirmed that its 2026 EBITDA growth target remains 7% to 9% on a like-for-like basis, while raising its 2026 sales growth target to 8% to 10%. Those targets belong to Vicat and should not be read as new guidance from CEMEX.
