Analysis · LOMA · Manufacturing
Loma Negra's annual report reveals a substantial 88.7% decrease in net profit for 2025, falling to Ps. 22,821 million from Ps. 202,094 million in 2024, alongside a 7.8% decline in revenues. This significant downturn reflects the ongoing macroeconomic challenges in Argentina, including a 41.3% peso devaluation and persistent, albeit decelerating, inflation. The company's core cement segment experienced a 11.9% decrease in sales price, partially offset by a 2.5% increase in volume. While the company successfully issued new corporate bonds and Argentina secured a new US$20 billion IMF funding facility, these broader financial stability measures for the country do not fully mitigate the direct impact on Loma Negra's profitability. Additionally, a change in the indirect ownership structure of its controlling shareholder introduces potential uncertainty regarding future strategic direction.
