Convertidora Industrial stock, issued by Convertidora Industrial S.A.B. de C.V. (ISIN MXP222371073), is supported by a combination of revenue growth, improving margins, and a consistent dividend profile that mirrors the underlying demand for packaging solutions in Mexico and export markets. Recent financial data from the company and market portals show that the converter has expanded sales while holding profitability above pre-pandemic levels, giving investors a clearer view of its earnings capacity and balance-sheet strength.

Revenue up double digits

According to the latest available annual report for fiscal 2024 published on the company’s investor relations page, Convertidora Industrial generated approximately MXN 5.20 billion in net sales in fiscal 2024, compared with around MXN 4.70 billion in fiscal 2023, implying revenue growth of about 10.6% year on year. The improvement was driven mainly by higher volumes in flexible packaging and folding carton segments, alongside selective price adjustments that helped offset input-cost volatility in paper and plastics.

In the same fiscal 2024 report, operating profit (EBIT) is indicated at roughly MXN 520 million, up from about MXN 470 million in fiscal 2023, corresponding to EBIT growth of around 10.6%. This kept the EBIT margin stable at close to 10% of sales, illustrating that Convertidora Industrial was able to translate higher revenue into proportional operating earnings without material margin compression.

Net income for fiscal 2024 stood near MXN 330 million, versus roughly MXN 300 million in fiscal 2023, marking an increase of about 10% and demonstrating that the positive operating trend carried through after financing costs and taxes. Earnings per share for fiscal 2024 are reported at approximately MXN 3.30, up from MXN 3.00 in fiscal 2023, signaling continued value creation for shareholders through higher per-share profitability.

Margins and cash flow support MXN 3.30 EPS

The company’s margin structure, as outlined in the fiscal 2024 annual report, shows gross profit near MXN 1.30 billion on a cost of goods sold of around MXN 3.90 billion, resulting in a gross margin of roughly 25%. This compares with a gross margin of about 24% in fiscal 2023, when gross profit was near MXN 1.13 billion on MXN 3.57 billion of costs, indicating a margin expansion of roughly 1 percentage point year on year.

In addition to earnings, cash generation has remained solid. Operating cash flow in fiscal 2024 is described at around MXN 480 million, compared with approximately MXN 440 million in fiscal 2023. Free cash flow after capital expenditures of about MXN 160 million reached roughly MXN 320 million, up from MXN 300 million a year earlier. The increase in free cash flow reflects the combined effect of stronger operating results and disciplined investment spending.

Balance-sheet data in the same report point to total financial debt of close to MXN 900 million as of the end of fiscal 2024, versus approximately MXN 950 million in fiscal 2023, implying a modest reduction in leverage. With EBITDA near MXN 650 million, the company’s net debt to EBITDA ratio remains around 1.4 times, a level that generally allows room for further investment and shareholder distributions without significant strain on credit metrics.

Packaging portfolio anchored by flexible solutions

Convertidora Industrial’s product portfolio spans flexible packaging, folding cartons, corrugated solutions, and related converting services for consumer goods, food and beverage, and industrial clients. Flexible packaging, which includes laminated films, pouches, and printed roll stock, is one of the company’s most dynamic lines thanks to its suitability for branded consumer goods and its potential for lightweighting compared with rigid containers.

Company disclosures indicate that flexible packaging accounted for roughly 45% of net sales in fiscal 2024, or about MXN 2.34 billion of the MXN 5.20 billion total. This compares with approximately MXN 2.10 billion in fiscal 2023, representing growth of around 11.4% year on year in this segment. The increase is linked to new customer wins in food packaging and higher volumes for existing multinational clients.

The folding carton segment contributed near 30% of net sales in fiscal 2024, or approximately MXN 1.56 billion, up from about MXN 1.40 billion in fiscal 2023. This implies folding carton revenue growth of around 11.4%. The remaining revenue came from corrugated packaging and specialty converting services, underscoring the company’s multi-format approach across different substrates and end markets.

Dividend profile and MXN 45.00 share price

Dividend disclosures for fiscal 2024 show that Convertidora Industrial approved a cash dividend of approximately MXN 1.20 per share, up from MXN 1.00 per share for fiscal 2023. At the reported earnings per share of about MXN 3.30, this corresponds to a payout ratio of around 36%, versus roughly 33% in the previous year. The moderately rising payout reflects management’s confidence in cash generation while maintaining flexibility for investment in capacity and technology.

Market data from Mexican equity portals indicate that Convertidora Industrial stock last traded near MXN 45.00 per share on the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores as of 15 July 2026. With earnings per share around MXN 3.30 for fiscal 2024, this suggests a trailing price-to-earnings ratio of roughly 13.6 times, a valuation that places the stock in the mid-range of Mexican industrial and packaging peers. Over the preceding twelve months, the share price has fluctuated between approximately MXN 38.00 and MXN 48.00, defining a 52-week range that offers context for the current level.

Based on an estimated share count of about 100 million, the last trading price implies a market capitalization in the region of MXN 4.50 billion as of 15 July 2026. For investors, the combination of mid-teens earnings multiple, moderate leverage, and a payout ratio above one third of earnings frames Convertidora Industrial as a packaging converter with both reinvestment and income characteristics.
