ALFREDO HUERTA / FINANCE 24 AND BUSINESSES.

That is the case, for example, of Gruma, which current data vs. Q220 shows a drop in sales, operating cash flow and net profit, maintaining its sales volume. However, when comparing the data vs. Q219, sales were up 16.2%, operating cash flow was up 16.9%, and net profits rose 20.7%.
