Winston Score History

The full picture

Cementos Pacasmayo is a Peruvian company that makes and sells cement, concrete, and other construction materials. Its main customers are builders, contractors, and individuals constructing homes and infrastructure projects. The company is the dominant cement producer in northern Peru, giving it a strong regional position in one of South America's emerging economies.

The company earns money by selling cement bags and ready-mix concrete, primarily to customers in Peru's northern region. Its geographic focus is narrow — it operates almost entirely within Peru — but that concentration also means it faces limited competition in its home territory, which helps explain its healthy gross margins above 39%. The key growth driver is Peru's ongoing need for housing and infrastructure investment, though the business is exposed to risks from economic slowdowns, currency fluctuations, and rising energy costs, since cement production is energy-intensive.

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
