<p><span data-contrast="auto">Analysts estimate the <a href="https://www.leaprate.com/forex/market-news/daily-market-commentary-stock-markets-jump-higher-from-tokyo-to-us-future-contracts-in-new-york/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York</a> listing of the North American spin-off could achieve a value of approximately $30bn. This is the most significant restructuring move since Holcim took over Lafarge in 2015. This process should be finalised during the first half of 2025. Jenisch indicated Holcim would not retain a stake in this divestment. He commented:</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></p>
<blockquote><p><span data-contrast="auto">We’re going to do a full capital market separation of our North American business, so we will list 100% of the business on the New York Stock Exchange.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></p></blockquote>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Holcim’s international operations in Europe, South America, Africa, and Asia will continue as usual and remain listed on the Swiss Market Index (SMI).

Currently the largest cement manufacturer in North America, Holcim has 16,000 employees in 850 locations.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></p>
