YPF Sociedad Anonima

YPF Sociedad Anónima (YPF) is Argentina’s largest integrated energy company, operating across exploration & production, refining and fuel retail, with a market capitalisation of about $10.61 billion. The group holds meaningful exposure to the Vaca Muerta shale basin — a long-term resource opportunity — while its downstream and retail operations provide steady domestic cash flow. Investors should be aware that YPF’s performance is closely tied to global oil and gas prices, Argentine macroeconomic conditions (including inflation and currency moves) and government policy because of the state’s historical influence. Benefits include access to sizeable unconventional reserves and an integrated business model; risks include commodity price swings, regulatory intervention, financing limitations in a high-inflation environment and the broader energy transition away from hydrocarbons. Dividend payouts have varied and are not guaranteed.
