Pampa Energía S.A. (PAM) Q4 2025 Earnings Call Transcript
Pampa's Q3 confirmed accelerating shale growth, improving margins, and a stronger portfolio mix, supporting my buy stance as the company transitions from resilience to structural expansion. Management guides for sharp production increases through 2026-2027, alongside declining lifting costs and a heavy capex cycle fully supported by a solid balance sheet. Despite a 30% rally since August, Pampa still trades at a meaningful valuation discount while delivering stronger projected growth in EPS, EBITDA and revenue than its sector.
The elections at the end of October in Argentina have put an end to a period of pessimism in the country that companies like PAM can take advantage of. The company's commitment to growth in the oil & gas and midstream sectors is key for the short and medium term. In Q3 2025, Pampa Energia reported an adjusted EBITDA of $322 million, which represents an EV/EBITDA ratio of 4.33x.
Pampa Energía S.A. ( PAM ) Q3 2025 Earnings Call November 5, 2025 10:00 AM EST Company Participants Raquel Cardasz Lida Wang - Head of Investor Relations & Sustainability Gustavo Mariani - CEO, Executive VP & Vice Chairman Horacio Jorge Tomas Turri - Executive Director of Exploration & Production Adolfo Zuberbuhler - CFO & Executive Director of Finances Presentation Raquel Cardasz " Lida Wang Head of Investor Relations & Sustainability " Gustavo Mariani CEO, Executive VP & Vice Chairman " Horacio Jorge Tomas Turri Executive Director of Exploration & Production " Adolfo Zuberbuhler CFO & Executive Director of Finances " Raquel Cardasz Good morning.
The second quarter saw a drop in profits and a squeeze on margins, but the financial situation remains manageable, and investment in growth explains the negative cash flow. Key developments on the Rincón de Aranda position Pampa to take advantage of Vaca Muerta's export potential and reduce dependence on local gas. Shares remain an attractive long-term play, but the near term is likely volatile; execution on the Neuquen basin, tariff updates, and gas pricing are key points to follow.
I maintain a Hold rating on Pampa Energia, as most segments face stagnation and regulatory uncertainty, though oil and gas offer future growth potential. Power generation profits are peaking in USD terms, but recent FX deregulation and unclear regulation threaten future profitability and investment in this segment. Petrochemicals remain weak due to global overcapacity, while natural gas growth is delayed until LNG projects come online in 2027/28, with margins still speculative.

Argentina's Pampa Energia has applied to build an oil and gas treatment plant at the Vaca Muerta shale formation, the company said on Tuesday, in a project worth $426 million.
Pampa Energía is leveraging Argentina's macro stabilization to consolidate its leadership in power and gas, while expanding regionally and investing in strategic LNG, shale oil, and renewables projects. Operational strength continues: thermal availability at 96%, PEPE 6 fully running, and Rincón de Aranda progressing fast toward 20,000 bpd. The FLNG project also confirmed with global partners. Financials remain solid with just 0.6x net debt/EBITDA, over $1.1B in cash, and strong margins. PAM funds growth without borrowing or shareholder dilution.
PAM makes a strong case for investment, given its growth prospects, strong ROE, liquidity, better debt management and focus on clean power generation.
