Description: LOMA Loma Negra Compania January 14, 2026
Loma Negra Companía Industrial Argentina S.A. (NYSE: LOMA) manufactures cement, masonry cement, lime, ready-mix concrete, aggregates and related products, and also operates a rail-transport business and an industrial-waste-to-fuel service. The firm sells under multiple brands (Loma Negra, San Martín, Plasticor, Cacique Plus/Max, Loma Negra Plus, Lomax) to distributors, concrete producers, industrial users and other customers across Argentina, and it is a subsidiary of Intercement Trading E Inversiones Argentina.
Key industry data points that contextualize Loma Negra’s outlook: (1) the company holds roughly 40-45 % of Argentina’s cement market, making it the dominant domestic player; (2) its FY-2024 EBITDA margin was about 18 % after a 2023 inflation-adjusted revenue increase of ~12 %, reflecting strong pricing power in a high-inflation environment; and (3) Argentine construction activity, which drives cement demand, is closely tied to government infrastructure spending and the health of the residential housing market-both of which have been volatile due to fiscal tightening and currency depreciation.
