Holcim Maroc reported income of US$87.2 million for the first half of 2026, down 8% from US$94.8 million a year earlier. Management blamed weaker sales and higher fuel prices, partly offset by cost control and better industrial performance.

## Key facts

- Management says growth prospects for the cement market remain favourable for the second half of 2026.
