▲(5.09% Upside)
Action:DowngradedDate:02/14/26
The score is driven primarily by attractive valuation (very low P/E and high dividend yield) alongside improving recent operating and cash-flow performance. This is tempered by elevated leverage and historical volatility, and near-term technicals that remain weak versus short-term moving averages.
Positive Factors
Improving cash generation
Sustained and improving free cash flow (TTM FCF ~117B, +33.3%) that converts a high share of reported earnings (~82%) provides durable internal funding to service debt, fund capex and dividends, and reduces reliance on external financing—supporting long-term operational flexibility.
Strong margins & revenue growth
Double-digit TTM revenue growth alongside high gross (~40%) and net (~19%) margins indicates scalable agricultural and asset-management operations. Durable margin levels reflect pricing/operational efficiency and support persistent cash generation across cycles, bolstering resilience of core businesses.
Stable capital market access
Ability to raise meaningful local and dollar-denominated debt shows continued market access and investor appetite. A diversified funding mix and successful issuances support long-term financing of land improvements and operations, reducing near-term refinancing risk for strategic investments.
Negative Factors
High leverage
Sustained leverage (debt-to-equity ~1.55) constrains financial flexibility and raises sensitivity to interest rates, currency moves and land-value swings. With operating cash flow covering only a modest portion of debt, elevated leverage increases refinancing and liquidity risk during adverse agricultural or market cycles.
Earnings cyclicality
Earnings and cash flow volatility—driven by commodity prices, weather, asset revaluations and investee results—reduces predictability of free cash flow and debt service capacity. This cyclicality complicates capital planning and heightens probability of profit swings that can impair funding or dividend consistency.
Control concentration & dilution risk
A large controlling stake plus potential warrant-driven dilution concentrates decision-making and can limit minority influence on strategy or capital actions. The recent correction of an accounting error tied to warrant adjustments also highlights governance and reporting risks that can affect investor confidence over time.

Cresud Sociedad Business Overview & Revenue Model

Company DescriptionCresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria, an agricultural company, produces basic agricultural commodities in Brazil and other Latin American countries. It operates through Agricultural Business, and Urban Properties and Investment Business segments. The Agricultural Business segment is involved in the planting, harvesting, and sale of crops, such as wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton, and sunflower, as well as sugarcane; sale of grain derivatives, including flour and oil; breeding, purchasing, and/or fattening of cattle for sale to meat processors and local livestock auction markets; provision of agricultural services; leasing of farms to third parties; disposal and development of farmlands; and brokerage activities. The Urban Properties and Investment Business segment leases, rents, and services commercial and other spaces in shopping malls; leases offices and other rental spaces; develops, maintains, and sells undeveloped parcels of land and/or trading properties; and operates hotels, as well as engages in the entertainment activities. The company was incorporated in 1936 and is headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The company operates large-scale farming operations that produce a variety of crops, which are sold to both domestic and international markets. Additionally, Cresud earns income from its livestock operations, including cattle ranching.

Revenue By Segment
Shows the revenue contribution from each segment, indicating where the company is generating the most sales and potential growth opportunities.
Chart InsightsCresud Sociedad's Agribusiness segment has experienced significant volatility, with a sharp rise in revenue from 2023 onwards, peaking in early 2024. This suggests strategic shifts or favorable market conditions. Meanwhile, the Urban Properties & Investments segment shows a steady upward trend, indicating strong performance and potential expansion in real estate activities. The lack of earnings call commentary leaves the reasons for these changes speculative, but the data suggests Cresud is capitalizing on growth opportunities in both sectors.

Cresud Sociedad Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Recent fundamentals are solid with strong TTM revenue growth (+11.2%), robust margins (gross ~40%, net ~19%), and improving cash generation (TTM FCF ~117B; +33.3%). Offsetting this, the balance sheet is meaningfully leveraged (debt-to-equity ~1.55) and results have been volatile historically (including a 2021 net loss and negative FCF in 2024), which raises downside risk if conditions weaken.
Income Statement
72
Positive
In TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months), revenue grew strongly (+11.2%) and profitability looks robust (gross margin ~40% and net margin ~19%). Annual results show a meaningful step-up in scale from 2024 to 2025 (revenue rising from ~711B to ~914B) with net margin holding around ~10–11%. The main weakness is volatility across years, including a net loss in 2021 and uneven operating profitability in prior periods, which reduces confidence in consistency despite the solid recent trajectory.
Balance Sheet
56
Neutral
Leverage is the key constraint: total debt is high and has increased materially into TTM, with debt-to-equity around ~1.55 (and consistently >1 across the years provided). Equity has grown versus earlier years, but the capital structure still looks debt-heavy for a conglomerate, leaving less flexibility if earnings or asset values swing. Return on equity is healthy in TTM (~19.9%) and 2025 (~9.9%), but the balance-sheet risk profile remains elevated due to sustained leverage.
Cash Flow
63
Positive
Cash generation is positive and improving: TTM operating cash flow (~169B) and free cash flow (~117B) are both solid, with strong TTM free-cash-flow growth (+33.3%). Free cash flow also covers a large portion of earnings in TTM (~82%), suggesting earnings are translating reasonably into cash. Offsetting this, operating cash flow covers only a modest portion of debt in TTM (~0.26), and free cash flow was negative in 2024, highlighting cyclicality and the need for sustained cash generation given the leverage.

Cresud Swings to Profit and Details Capital Structure Ahead of 2026 Warrant Expiry
Feb 9, 2026

Cresud reported that for the six-month period ended December 31, 2025, it swung to net income of ARS 193,932 million from a loss a year earlier, mainly due to gains from changes in the fair value of IRSA’s investment properties. Total comprehensive income rose to ARS 226,956 million, shareholders’ equity increased to ARS 2.61 trillion, and the company’s market capitalization stood at about USD 819.4 million as of that date, while an accounting error in past inflation adjustments on warrant-related share premium was identified and corrected.

The company detailed a capital structure of 648.7 million shares (including treasury shares) with 35.97% held, directly and indirectly, by controlling shareholder Eduardo Sergio Elsztain, and outlined the potential dilution and increase of the control group’s stake to 39.64% if all outstanding warrants expiring in March 2026 were exercised. Operationally, Cresud’s adjusted EBITDA fell 19% in the first half of fiscal 2026, but the regional 2026 agricultural campaign advanced with good weather, record wheat yields in Argentina and supportive livestock margins, while the company raised USD 117.2 million in local Series L and LI notes and paid a dividend of ARS 93,782 million on November 7, 2025.
