Loma Negra Compania Industrial Argentina Sociedad Anonima ( (LOMA) ) has issued an announcement.
In a Form 6-K filed on May 5, 2026, Loma Negra reported first-quarter 2026 results showing modest top-line growth and stronger profitability despite a still-fragile demand backdrop in Argentina’s construction sector. Net revenues rose 1.1% year on year to 218.7 billion pesos, with cement volumes up 1.8% and overall adjusted EBITDA improving 5.1% to 54.6 billion pesos, lifting the consolidated margin to 24.9%.
Segment performance was mixed, as cement margins were pressured by higher costs, while concrete, railroad and aggregates all posted margin gains, contributing to sequential improvement in group gross and EBITDA margins. Net profit attributable to shareholders jumped to about 41 billion pesos, supported by finance gains and a foreign exchange gain, and the company strengthened its capital structure with a US$60 million bond issue, keeping leverage relatively low at 1.33 times net debt to last-twelve-month adjusted EBITDA.
The most recent analyst rating on (LOMA) stock is a Buy with a $14.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Loma Negra Compania Industrial Argentina Sociedad Anonima stock, see the LOMA Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on LOMA Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, LOMA is a Neutral.
The score is held back primarily by unstable profitability and the swing to negative free cash flow in 2025, despite a strong revenue rebound and a solid equity base. Limited technical data prevents confirming market momentum, and valuation is difficult to support with a negative P/E and no dividend yield.
