Chedraui Q2 2026 slides show margin gains amid sales headwinds By Investing.com

Chedraui’s Q2 2026 slides highlighted margin gains despite sales headwinds, as the Mexican retailer reported results on July 23, 2026. The company posted earnings per share of $1.85 versus a Wall Street forecast of $1.99, and its shares traded at $86.94, up 0.71%, near the 52-week low of $86.00. Management pointed to operational execution and long-term strength while weaker demand and currency effects weighed on reported revenue. Total sales fell 3.9% year over year to MXN 71,035 million, largely due to a stronger peso with a 9.7% appreciation, while EBITDA margin improved 15 basis points to 9.0%. Gross margin rose 70 basis points to 24.8%, even as operating expenses increased to 15.8% from 15.3%, and net income declined 11.5% to MXN 1,825 million.
