Key Metrics
Top Statement Risk
Hyperinflation and policy uncertainty
Margin Compression Under Inflation
Gross margin fell to 19.2% in 2026Q2 from 31.2% in 2024Q4, while operating margin dropped to 6.0%, indicating cost inflation is outpacing price increases. According to the latest financial statements, profitability is strained.
The sequential deterioration in gross margin from 26.1% in 2026Q1 to 19.2% in 2026Q2 suggests that input cost inflation, particularly energy and logistics, is not being fully passed through to customers. Operating margin at 6.0% is well below the 18.5% peak in 2024Q4, reflecting a structural shift in the cost environment. Net margin of 3.1% in 2026Q2 is heavily influenced by hyperinflationary accounting adjustments, so investors should focus on gross and operating margins as more reliable indicators of underlying earning power.
Return on Capital Decaying Sharply
ROIC fell to 0.7% in 2026Q2 from 3.2% in 2024Q4, while ROE dropped to 0.6% from 4.3% over the same period. Based on reported figures, capital efficiency is deteriorating.
The decline in ROIC is driven by both margin compression and a significant expansion in the capital base, as PPE grew from $731.1B to $1.6T under IAS 29 restatement. Asset turnover has remained low at 0.11, indicating that the company is not generating sufficient revenue from its asset base. The sharp drop in ROE from 13.9% in 2024Q1 to 0.6% in 2026Q2 suggests that the company is no longer compounding returns, and the low returns may not justify the current P/B of 1.54.
Working Capital Cycle Lengthens
Cash conversion cycle extended to 153 days in 2026Q2 from 85 days in 2024Q1, driven by rising DSO and DIO. As reported in the financial statements, working capital efficiency is deteriorating.
DSO increased from 29 days in 2024Q2 to 47 days in 2026Q2, while DIO rose from 100 to 160 days, indicating that the company is holding inventory longer and collecting receivables more slowly. DPO has also increased but not enough to offset the longer inventory and receivable cycles. This lengthening CCC suggests that the company is tying up more cash in working capital, which is particularly concerning in a hyperinflationary environment where cash loses value quickly.
Low Leverage Masks Credit Constraints
Debt-to-equity remains low at 0.24, but interest coverage fell to 2.04 in 2026Q2 from 14.95 in 2024Q4. According to recent financial statements, debt service is becoming less comfortable.
The low D/E ratio may indicate a conservative capital structure, but it could also reflect limited access to credit markets in Argentina. Interest coverage has deteriorated sharply, from 14.95 in 2024Q4 to 2.04 in 2026Q2, as operating income has declined while debt levels have remained relatively stable. The spike in D/EBITDA to 65.86 in 2025Q3 was likely a temporary anomaly, but the current level of 7.01 is still elevated relative to the company's earnings power. Investors should monitor refinancing risk, especially given the parent company's financial distress.
Liquidity Buffer Improving but Thin
Current ratio improved to 2.25 in 2026Q2 from 0.87 in 2025Q2, but quick ratio remains low at 0.72. Based on the latest balance sheet, liquidity is adequate but inventory-dependent.
The improvement in the current ratio is largely due to an increase in inventory, which may not be easily convertible to cash in a stressed scenario. The quick ratio of 0.72 indicates that the company relies heavily on inventory to meet short-term obligations, which could be problematic if demand weakens. Cash balances are minimal at $10.3B relative to total assets of $2.2T, suggesting that the company has limited buffer against a sudden cash crunch.
Misapplied P/E in Hyperinflation
The trailing P/E of 60.51 is misleading under IAS 29, as net income is distorted by non-cash monetary gains. According to the financial statements, EV/EBITDA of 9.91 may be a more reliable valuation metric.
The P/E ratio is commonly misapplied to Loma Negra because hyperinflationary accounting creates large non-cash gains and losses that inflate or deflate net income, making the P/E unreliable. For example, net margin swung from -4.0% in 2025Q3 to 18.7% in 2026Q1, reflecting monetary adjustments rather than operational performance. Instead, investors should use EV/EBITDA, which is less affected by these distortions, or EV per tonne of capacity, which provides a more stable comparison against global peers. The current EV/EBITDA of 9.91 appears reasonable relative to the sector, but it must be interpreted with caution given the volatile operating environment.
