Analysis · SID · Manufacturing
The cement divestment has reached its final stage: Huaxin Building Materials won the competitive process launched in March 2026 and now holds a 10-day exclusivity window to sign definitive documents at a R$12.7 billion enterprise value. For a company that reported a R$1.33 billion H1 2026 net loss and has been selling assets to cut debt, this is a large disposal, and it follows the October 9 term sheet to sell the German SWT steel unit to Megasa for €550 million. The deal is not signed yet — exclusivity can lapse — but a binding agreement within days would materially change CSN's leverage profile. One open overhang remains: the NYSE non-compliance notice from August 13, 2026, for ADSs trading below $1.00 over 30 consecutive days.
