On CAPS, 98.2% of the 1,464 All-Star members who have rated Cemex believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include TMFSTX and JakilaTheHun, both of whom are ranked in the top 3% of our community.

Just last month, TMFSTX tapped Cemex as a solid way to play a pair of powerful trends: "Large infrastructure projects pending in the USA and Mexico. Industry consolidation."

In a pitch from one week later, JakilaTheHun expanded on Cemex as a good, but not great, value proposition:

Cemex has good growth prospects. They are well positioned in emerging markets. Historical earnings and cash flows have been around the $0.75 - $1.30 range. I liked this a lot when it crept under $7; and especially under $5, where it was an outright steal! At $13, I'm becoming more neutral on it. ... While cash flows are strong, I believe they support a valuation somewhere in the $14 - $23 range.
