Grupo México delivered record Q1 2026 consolidated sales of US$5.57 billion, up 32.7% year-over-year, with EBITDA surging 49.6% to US$3.31 billion and a 59.5% EBITDA margin. The quarter was powered by surging copper, silver, and molybdenum prices alongside a near-elimination of net cash costs to US$0.22/lb.
Performance Highlights
Grupo México posted record consolidated revenues of US$5.57 billion in Q1 2026, beating the prior-year period by 32.7%, while consolidated EBITDA of US$3.31 billion expanded 49.6% year-over-year to a 59.5% margin. Net income attributable to Grupo México reached US$1.64 billion, a 62.4% increase, with a profit margin of 29.4% versus 24.0% in Q1 2025.
The dominant driver was the Mining Division, where copper LME prices rose 37.5%, silver surged 157.9%, and molybdenum gained 25.3%, lifting Mining revenues to US$4.61 billion and EBITDA to US$2.87 billion at a 62.3% margin; net cash cost collapsed 79.0% to US$0.22/lb on elevated byproduct credits. Transportation contributed US$896 million in revenue, up 15.6%, supported by automotive and cement volume growth, while Infrastructure revenue dipped 9.5% to US$158 million due to four suspended PEMEX rigs, though EBITDA still rose 4.1%.
Management Outlook and Forward Catalysts
Management signalled sustained growth confidence through a US$1.65 MXN dividend per share, a 37.5% increase year-over-year, and a capital investment program that could exceed US$27 billion this decade, with Tía María on track for first production in Q3 2027 at 32.5% completion. The announced combination of power generation assets with Saavi Energía at an indicative US$5.5 billion platform valuation, plus the Ray Concentrator Expansion targeting a 161% production increase, illustrates a deliberate shift toward vertical integration and energy diversification.
The central investor debate heading into Q2 centres on whether copper price tailwinds can offset the expected ore grade recovery timeline in Peru and execution risk across a dense project pipeline. Bulls will track Tía María construction milestones, US policy support for copper as a strategic metal, and the Saavi Energía deal closure expected in Q3 2026, while bears will watch for China real estate demand weakness, illegal miner disruptions at Los Chancas, and the US$880 million cash outlay compressing near-term free cash flow.
