Loma Negra's Volumes Are Falling Sequentially, And Margins Are Suffering
Summary Loma Negra's 2Q25 results show weak pricing, flat volumes, and collapsing margins, with inflation-adjusted EBITDA down 30% year-over-year. Volume growth is misleading, as it's only a partial rebound from last year's steep decline; sequential volumes remain flat or down. Free cash flow remains negative, debt is rising and short-term, and the company faces ongoing financial pressures without clear capital return plans. At 15x cycle-average earnings and no growth, LOMA is not attractive; I maintain a Hold rating due to valuation and cyclical risks. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaAnalysis Article • Aug 11

Loma Negra: Argentina's Cement Market Is Bleeding
Summary Loma Negra Compañía Industrial Argentina Sociedad Anónima's Q4 results highlight a 15% YOY decline in cement volumes, reflecting Argentina's severe recession and weak construction sector. Despite flat adjusted EBITDA from aggressive pricing, the business remains fragile with no concrete recovery signs, making the stock unattractive at over 50x earnings. The company's reported debt reduction is misleading due to accounting adjustments; real debt levels remain unchanged in dollar terms. With a low earnings yield of less than 2% and a high P/E ratio, LOMA stock is a clear Hold at its current valuation. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaAnalysis Article • Mar 01

Loma Negra: A Great Opportunity To Take Advantage Of The Argentine Economic Cycle
Summary Loma is closely tied to Argentina's economic cycles, showing resilience with a 28.1% EBITDA margin despite a 33% YoY drop in net sales. Argentina's economic reforms under President Milei, including FX unification and fiscal adjustments, are expected to benefit LOMA, especially with increased private sector investments. LOMA's valuation, based on a DCF model with a 14% WACC, suggests potential growth, reflecting Argentina's long-term economic stability and recovery prospects. Risks include the successful implementation of economic reforms, agricultural production stability, and political support for President Milei's policies during mid-term elections.

Want To Invest In Argentina's Comeback? Buy Loma Negra
Summary Argentina's economy is showing signs of recovery under President Javier Milei, who has implemented strict fiscal policies to curb overspending and inflation. Loma Negra, Argentina's largest cement producer, is well-positioned to benefit from the country's economic turnaround due to its market dominance and strong profit margin. The company's strong balance sheet and increased gross margins, despite economic challenges, highlight its resilience and potential for growth in a recovering economy. Investing in Loma Negra offers significant upside potential as it is highly leveraged to Argentina's economic improvement, unlike other Argentine ADRs with less economic sensitivity.

Loma Negra Is Feeling The Argentinian Recession; The Stock Is Not An Opportunity
Summary Loma Negra's 2Q24 results were poor, with a 30% drop in sold volumes, halted production, and a challenging Argentinian macroeconomy impacting performance. Despite the downturn, margins improved due to cost-cutting measures, but the long-term viability of halted production is questionable. Brazilian controller Intercement's financial troubles and potential sale of Loma's stake could spur interest from strategic players, but not likely to affect stock price. Valuation remains unattractive with high multiple and uncertain growth prospects, leading to a Hold rating for Loma Negra's stock. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaAnalysis Article • Aug 14

Loma Negra: A Speculative Play On Argentinian Income Recovery (Rating Upgrade)
Summary Loma Negra, the largest cement manufacturer in Argentina, has seen its operating income fall due to price repression and currency depreciation.

Despite the current challenges, LOMA has strong financials and the potential for income growth, making it an opportunity for investors. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaAnalysis Article • Nov 08

Loma Negra: Going Strong In 2023 Thanks To High Local Cement Demand
Summary Cement demand in Argentina has been high in recent months, and 2023 is on pace to be the second-best year for the sector in terms of volumes. Loma Negra is the largest local cement maker and is trading at an EV/adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.1x on a TTM basis. In my view, adjusted EBITDA for 2023 is likely to surpass $200 million despite the second part of the year being softer. The company has a strong balance sheet, and the dividend yield would be around 8% even if dividend payments get cut in half. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaAnalysis Article • Sep 07
