Comeback attemptCooling offAI verdict · as of 2026-09-29

Catching its breath after a run — could pick back up or fade from here.

Loma Negra is Argentina cement — ARS hyperinflation math makes the numbers confusing; USD reality is a value trap.

Loma Negra is a $1.1B Argentine cement producer whose fundamentals are hard to read in a hyperinflation setting — the USD-earnings picture is soft.

Reading through the currency noise:

  • Q1 revenue ARS 218.7B (+34% YoY, headline) is really a mix of local inflation and volume — analysts have to normalize aggressively. In USD, Q2 earnings surprise was -53% ($0.05 vs $0.11 est), Q4 was -61%. The recent USD prints don't support the ARS growth read.
  • The multiple looks stretched: TTM PE 48.6, PS 2.3, ROIC 2.6%, FCF yield 0.6%. Analyst 2026 EPS consensus $0.08 vs $9.31 spot = forward PE 116 — the growth-to-value gap is uncomfortable.
  • The tape has cooled: -27.5% YTD to $9.31, at 37% of the 52-week range, position -9% vs 50-day MA. Aug 13 Zacks tagged it a 'New Buy' but the price hasn't followed. Q2 earnings call transcript from Aug 8 is the primary source for the actual mix.

The bull path is Argentina fiscal-reform continuation plus construction-cycle recovery (LOMA benefits from Milei-era infrastructure spend if it materializes). The bear path is peso re-devaluation compressing USD earnings again.

What to watch: Nov 5 Q3 earnings (consensus $0.08 EPS) — how USD numbers land after the peso volatility. Also Argentine election / fiscal-reform milestones — LOMA is a beta on the country, not a pure operating story.

Fundamentals & catalyst

Profitability, valuation, and the next earnings event — at a glance, with rule-of-thumb signals.

Key ratios

P/E
48.6How much investors are paying per dollar of profit the company actually earned in the last 12 months. Lower means the stock looks cheaper relative to earnings.~15–25 is typical for the S&P 500; high-growth names trade 30+; hyper-growth or speculative can be 100+ or negative.
ROIC
2.6%What percentage return the business earns on every dollar of capital (equity + debt) deployed in operations. The cleanest measure of business quality.Above ~15% is high-quality; consistently above 25% suggests a real moat. Below the company's cost of capital is value-destroying.
Op margin
9.9%Operating profit (after sales, marketing, R&D, and overhead but before interest and taxes) as a percentage of revenue. The clearest view of how well the underlying business is run.Mature business above 20% is healthy; software businesses can run 30%+; commodity / retail businesses operate in single digits.
FCF yield
0.6%Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capex) divided by the company's market cap. The cash-on-cash return you'd get owning the whole business at today's price.Above ~5% is attractive; below ~2% means you're paying up for growth. Capital-light businesses (software) run higher than capital-heavy ones (utilities).
P/S
2.3Same idea as P/E but per dollar of revenue. Useful for companies that aren't profitable yet, where P/E is meaningless.Under ~2 is cheap; software / SaaS often runs 8–15; well above 20 implies the market is pricing in very high future growth.
ROE
3.7%Net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity. Similar to ROIC but counts only the equity side.Above 20% is strong, but can be inflated by leverage — a heavily indebted company can show high ROE with weak underlying ROIC.
Gross margin
22.0%Revenue minus the direct cost of producing what was sold, as a percentage of revenue. The first read on whether the product is structurally profitable.Software / SaaS is typically 70%+; consumer goods 30–50%; commodity / hardware businesses can be under 20%.
D/E
0.3Total debt divided by shareholders' equity. Measures how much the business runs on borrowed money versus owner capital.Under 1 is conservative; 1–2 is typical for mature businesses; over 2 is leveraged and more sensitive to interest rates.
