Based in Buenos Aires, YPF is widely regarded as one of Argentina's flagship energy operators. Its scale — about 22k people, around $18B in turnover — translates into genuine strategic weight across Latin America.

“YPF is, in its category, exactly the kind of compounding regional champion the next decade of capital allocation will reward.”

Governance upgrades and a more transparent disclosure cadence are gradually narrowing the historical valuation gap with global peers.
