Real-time and end-of-day equity data for the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores (BMV) and the S&P/BMV IPC index — Mexico's flagship blue-chip benchmark — delivered as a structured Apify dataset. Track all ~35 IPC constituents (América Móvil, Walmex, Banorte, Femsa, Cemex, Grupo México, Coca-Cola FEMSA, Televisa, and more) in a single run with prices in Mexican Pesos (MXN), plus sector, industry, 52-week range, day high/low, and volume.

Built for hedge funds, quant desks, family offices, emerging-market analysts, and fintech apps that need clean Mexican equity data without paying Bloomberg-Terminal prices ($24,000+/year) or Refinitiv Eikon prices ($22,000+/year). One run of this actor costs less than a coffee.

Why Mexican equities matter right now

Mexico is the #1 trading partner of the United States after a decade of nearshoring momentum. Capital flows into the BMV have surged as multinationals relocate supply chains out of China and into northern Mexico (Monterrey, Saltillo, Querétaro, Guadalajara). The S&P/BMV IPC index — formerly called the Índice de Precios y Cotizaciones — is the benchmark every LatAm fund tracks for Mexican large-cap exposure.

The 34 IPC constituents represent ~70% of total BMV market capitalization and span every major sector:

• Consumer Staples — Walmex (WALMEX), FEMSA (FEMSAUBD), Coca-Cola FEMSA (KOFUBL), Grupo Bimbo (BIMBOA), Arca Continental (AC), Gruma (GRUMAB), Kimberly-Clark de México (KIMBERA), Becle / Jose Cuervo (CUERVO)
• Financials — Grupo Financiero Banorte (GFNORTEO), Inbursa (GFINBURO), Banco del Bajío (BBAJIOO), Banregio Regional (RA), Quálitas Insurance (Q), Bolsa Mexicana de Valores itself (BOLSAA)
• Materials & Mining — Cemex (CEMEXCPO), Grupo México (GMEXICOB), Industrias Peñoles (PE&OLES), Grupo Cementos de Chihuahua (GCC), Orbia (ORBIA)
• Industrials & Infrastructure — Grupo Carso (GCARSOA1), Pinfra (PINFRA), Grupo Aeroportuario Centro Norte (OMAB), del Sureste (ASURB), del Pacífico (GAPB), Volaris (VOLARA)
• Telecom & Media — América Móvil (AMXB), Megacable (MEGACPO), Grupo Televisa (TLEVISACPO)
• Consumer Discretionary — Alsea (ALSEA), El Puerto de Liverpool (LIVEPOLC1)
• Healthcare — Genomma Lab (LABB)
• Real Estate — Corporación Inmobiliaria Vesta (VESTA)

What the actor returns

For every stock in the requested universe, you get a single JSON record with:

Input parameters

{
"limit":35,
"index":"IPC",
"min_market_cap_mxn":0,
"sector":""
}

• limit (integer, 1–250, default 35) — How many stocks to return. 35 covers the full IPC index.
• index (IPC | BMV-all, default IPC) — Universe selector. IPC = blue-chip benchmark constituents.
• min_market_cap_mxn (integer, default 0) — Optional market-cap floor in MXN.
• sector (string, default "") — Optional GICS sector filter (e.g. "Financials", "Consumer Staples"). Leave blank for all sectors.

Example use cases

1. Hedge-fund LatAm portfolio rebalance — pull the entire IPC, snapshot prices intraday, feed into your factor model for momentum / quality / value scoring.
2. Nearshoring thesis tracking — filter sector="Industrials" to monitor Mexican logistics/airports/airlines names benefiting from US-Mexico trade flows.
3. MXN currency hedging signal — combine output with our Currency Exchange Rates actor to model USD/MXN pair against IPC index drift.
4. Compliance reporting — daily snapshot of holdings vs the IPC benchmark for fund prospectus compliance.
5. Quant backtesting — generate end-of-day quotes for the IPC universe and store in your time-series DB for momentum/mean-reversion strategies.
6. Fintech app — power a Mexican investing app with live BMV quotes without paying for a market-data vendor agreement.
7. Family office screening — quick-scan all 35 IPC names by sector to surface candidates for direct equity allocation.

Data source & methodology

Quotes are pulled directly from Yahoo Finance using the publicly-served chart endpoint, with .MX ticker suffixes (the canonical Yahoo convention for BMV equities). The constituent table is curated from the S&P/BMV IPC index methodology document and cross-referenced with Wikipedia's IPC reference page. We resolve each BMV ticker (which often includes a share-class letter like B, CPO, O, A1, C-1, UBD) to its canonical Yahoo symbol — for example FEMSA UBD → FEMSAUBD.MX, CEMEX CPO → CEMEXCPO.MX, LIVEPOL C-1 → LIVEPOLC1.MX, PE&OLES → PE&OLES.MX. Updates are typically within a few minutes of the live market (Mexico City time, GMT-6 CST).

A small number of BMV listings have idiosyncratic Yahoo Finance coverage (delistings, share-class restructures, illiquid names). For those the actor falls back to the constituent table — you still get the name, BMV symbol, sector, industry, and data_source: constituent_table so your code can branch cleanly.

Pricing — 96% cheaper than the Bloomberg Terminal

This is a Pay-Per-Event actor:

• $0.01 per actor start (covers Apify compute overhead)
• $0.25 per stock returned

A full IPC snapshot (35 stocks) costs $8.76 per run. By comparison, a Bloomberg Terminal seat is $2,000+/month and Refinitiv Eikon is $1,800+/month — for one user. This actor scales horizontally; one Apify account can power an entire 50-analyst desk for less than the cost of a single Bloomberg seat.

Run frequency suggestions

• Intraday traders — every 15 minutes during BMV regular hours (08:30–15:00 Mexico City time)
• End-of-day desks — once at 15:30 CT after the close
• Weekly research — once Monday morning before US/Mexico premarket
• Monthly compliance — last business day of the month

You can schedule runs in Apify via Schedules → New Schedule → cron expression (e.g. 0,15,30,45 14-20 * * 1-5 = every 15 minutes during BMV regular hours, Mon-Fri, in UTC).

Technical details

• Runtime: Python 3.12 on the official Apify actor image
• Concurrency: 6 parallel HTTPS requests to Yahoo Finance (polite rate-limit)
• Average runtime: ~5 seconds for a full IPC snapshot
• Output: Apify Dataset (JSON, CSV, Excel, RSS — your pick)
• Reliability: Server-side rendered source endpoints (no headless browsers, no proxy needs)

Frequently asked questions

Q: Does this work during BMV market holidays? A: Yes — Yahoo returns the last-traded close from Friday/pre-holiday session. The as_of_timestamp field tells you when the quote was last updated.

Q: What about ADRs on NYSE / NASDAQ? A: Mexican ADRs (e.g. AMX, CX for Cemex, FMX for FEMSA) trade in USD on US exchanges. For those use our Yahoo Finance Scraper or Finviz Stock Screener — they accept any US ticker.

Q: Is the data free for redistribution? A: Yahoo Finance quotes are intended for personal/internal use. For commercial redistribution to end users, license direct from the exchange or a vendor like S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Q: Can you add fundamental data (P/E, P/B, dividend yield, market cap)? A: Yes — the schema reserves fields for these and a future release will source them from Yahoo's quoteSummary endpoint (requires session crumb handling). DM the maintainer if you need this urgently.

Q: What time zone is as_of_timestamp? A: Unix epoch (UTC). Convert with datetime.utcfromtimestamp(t) in Python or new Date(t * 1000) in JavaScript.
