Initiating Coverage on YPF: Outperform Opportunity Amid Macro and Shale Expansion

By Leandro Gubler

  • We are initiating coverage on YPF with an Outperform recommendation.
  • Improving macroeconomic conditions in Argentina and YPF’s strategic focus on expanding unconventional production and investing in infrastructure, particularly export capacity, are expected to enhance its credit profile.
  • We favor the YPFDAR (Caa3/CCC/CCC) 8.500% 2029 unsecured bonds, YPFDAR 9.000% 2029 unsecured bonds, and YPFDAR 9.500% 2031 secured bonds.
