Cemex SAB shares climbed after the Mexican company said it sees cement demand improving this year in the US, its largest market, after lower volumes dented sales for 2024.

Annual net sales dipped 1% on a like-for-like basis to $16.2 billion, as higher prices failed to offset smaller volumes, Cemex said Thursday.
