EOD Oct 22, 2026
Operating margin is thin at 8.91%. Limited cushion if revenue slows or costs rise, not the profile of a wide-moat business.
Revenue declined 4.4% YoY. The question is whether this is cyclical or a structural shift.
At 25x earnings, the current multiple leaves limited room for execution misses or growth deceleration. Free cash flow declined 125% versus the prior year, cash generation momentum has weakened.
25.5x earnings, 7.9x FCF. Not cheap, the quality is already reflected in the price. Upside from here requires either margin expansion or growth re-acceleration, not just continuation.

Frequently asked
What is YPF Sociedad Anónima Sponsored ADR's fair value?+
Intrinsiqq's two-stage DCF estimates an intrinsic value of about $288.96 per share for YPF, projecting its recent free cash flow forward with a growth rate that fades toward a long-run rate and discounting it back to today. Applying a 25% margin of safety gives a more conservative fair-value entry around $216.72. At today's $49.14, that puts the stock about 488.0% below estimated intrinsic value. The result is sensitive to the growth and discount-rate inputs, so it is best to run conservative, base and optimistic cases. You can adjust all of them yourself with the sliders on the DCF tab.
Is YPF Sociedad Anónima Sponsored ADR a high-quality business?+
YPF Sociedad Anónima Sponsored ADR scores 74 out of 100 on Intrinsiqq's quality score, a weighted blend of 8 metrics each scored 0 to 100, which makes it a solid business on these measures. Recent fundamentals include a 17.9% operating margin and a 3.7% return on invested capital. The score weighs revenue and free-cash-flow growth, operating margins, return on invested capital, share-count change, and balance-sheet strength, all computed from company filings, not opinion. Because valuation only means something relative to quality, the full metric-by-metric breakdown is on the quality scorecard.
Is YPF Sociedad Anónima Sponsored ADR a good stock to buy right now?+
That depends on valuation and quality together, not either alone. YPF currently trades below its estimated intrinsic value and scores 74/100 on quality (solid). A cheap price is only a bargain if the business is durable, and a premium can be justified by genuine quality, so the two questions, "is it cheap?" and "is it good?", only make sense side by side. Read the valuation against the quality scorecard, run the DCF on your own assumptions, and decide for yourself. This is analysis from company filings, not investment advice.
