Analysis · PAM · Energy & Transportation
On October 15, director and 10% owner Marcos Marcelo Mindlin bought 435,000 ADSs at $80.78 for $35.1 million — roughly eight times his August 20 purchase and his largest single open-market buy on record. The move extends a clear accumulation pattern: three insiders have bought a net $16.4 million of open-market stock over the past 90 days with zero open-market sales, and this one filing accounts for the bulk of it. Supporting the buying is a strong operating backdrop — Q2 2026 sales of $746 million (+53% YoY) and adjusted EBITDA of $415 million (+75% YoY), plus RIGI approval for a $4.5 billion Vaca Muerta plan and a $2.7 billion fertilizer project. At $80.78, the purchase price is essentially in line with today's $80.38, so this is real money committed at current market levels, not a discounted or pre-arranged transaction.
