Analysis · CEPU · Energy & Transportation
Central Puerto's board has finalized the terms of a share repurchase program authorized earlier this year, committing up to US$30 million to buy back its own shares. The company states the market price does not reflect the fair value of its underlying assets, and the buyback is intended to protect shareholder value. The program is capped at 10% of share capital and will run for 180 days, with a maximum price of US$16 per ADR on the NYSE and AR$2,600 per share on the Buenos Aires exchange. This is a meaningful capital return signal from a company that recently reported sharply higher earnings, and it also restricts insider selling during the buyback period.
