Jamaica: Caribbean Cement has reported a net profit of US$45.1m in the first nine months of 2026, up by 48% year-on-year from US$30.4m in the corresponding period of 2025. Revenues increased by 13% to US$170m, compared with US$150m previously.

For the third quarter of 2026, revenues rose by 10% year-on-year to US$56m. However, net profit fell by 39% to US$8.8m, compared with US$14.5m in the corresponding period of 2025. The company attributed the decline to a planned annual kiln maintenance shutdown, which increased raw material, labour, repair and fuel costs.
