Bulls say / Bears say

Market normalisation is lifting earnings sharply. Q2 adjusted EBITDA rose 136.2% year on year to $145.0 million, helped by higher generation, more contracted sales, seasonal spot pricing and self-procured fuel margins. (EarningsCalls, Central Puerto SEC filing)
The company is adding assets that could broaden future earnings. The 30-year Piedra del Águila hydro concession strengthens its low-marginal-cost portfolio, while its 205 MW battery projects are expected to start commercial operations in Q4 2026 and contribute $25–27 million of adjusted EBITDA in 2027. (EarningsCalls, BNamericas)
Scale is improving its commercial position. Central Puerto generated about 15% of Argentina’s grid output in Q2, held more than 35% of the Resolution 400 term market and had contracted sales representing 55% of volumes. (EarningsCalls, Markets Daily)
Expansion is cash-intensive. Central Puerto spent $421.9 million on capital expenditure in the first half of 2026, while net debt reached $493.4 million and operating cash flow remained modest relative to investment needs. (Central Puerto SEC filing, EarningsCalls)
Fuel access and margins are exposed to winter conditions. The company secured only about 400,000 cubic metres per day of firm gas capacity against a request for 1.6 million, while Q2 adjusted EBITDA margin fell to 32% as fuel-intensive spot sales increased. (Longbridge, Markets Daily)
Cash collection and policy remain uncertain. FONINVEMEM receivables were $104.8 million at the end of Q2, and management has flagged uncertainty over future CAMMESA actions, capacity mechanisms and evolving market rules. (EarningsCalls, Longbridge)
