CEMENTOS PACASMAYO SAA vs Owens Corning, two Building Materials stocks. A side-by-side on valuation, growth, margins, returns, and what each price is betting.
Profitability separates them cleanly. The Peruvian cement maker Cementos Pacasmayo earns 16.39% on equity with a 10.05% net margin, while Owens Corning, the insulation and roofing maker, is working through a loss-making stretch after charges, at -14.5% on equity and a -5.43% net margin. The cash tells the opposite story. Owens Corning still yields 7.53% in free cash and pays a 2.11% dividend, dwarfing Pacasmayo's 1.33% yield. Owens Corning is the bigger business at $11.0B against $5.1B, but it carries heavy debt at 1.5 debt-to-equity while Pacasmayo runs with none. Pacasmayo's stretched 97.74 times earnings comes from a thin profit year, and Owens Corning has no positive earnings to price at all.
