Analysis
IRSA reported a substantial 415.6% increase in net profit for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2026, reaching ARS 239.7 billion. This was significantly influenced by a positive fair value adjustment of investment properties. However, the third quarter alone recorded a net loss of ARS 32.6 billion, a reversal from a profit in the prior year's quarter. The company also issued USD 180 million in Series XXIV Additional Notes, adding to its debt but providing capital. Furthermore, 36.6 million new shares were issued from warrant exercises, increasing outstanding shares by approximately 4.7%, and the terms of outstanding warrants were modified, leading to their reclassification from equity to financial liabilities, which implies future dilution without full cash proceeds.
