This valuation exercise is made of three stages: sector and company analysis, subsequently, a survey of key macroeconomic variables and their projections was conducted and an analysis of the macroeconomic risk to which the company is exposed was carried out; valuation of Cementos Argos performed with a model created by Bancolombia investment bank to valuate firms in Colombia and with Crystal Ball used to reach a range of more real values through statistic simulations; comparison of multiples of Cementos Argos in an international context, comparing it to similar cement companies (Cemex, Holcim and Lafarge) around the world. For a projection period of 10 years and a WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) of 12,6% for the first year, the value per share that the model shows is COP 6386, which is fairly close to the trading price in recent months.
