Hyperinflationary accounting volatility
As reported in financial statements, Loma Negra's ROIC has remained suppressed, fluctuating between 0.9% and 3.8% over the last ten quarters, which suggests that the company is struggling to generate meaningful economic returns on its invested capital base amidst the ongoing volatility of the Argentine construction market.
The persistent low ROIC indicates that the company's capital-intensive kiln operations are not currently yielding returns that exceed the cost of capital in real terms. Investors should monitor whether the recent L'Amali II expansion can drive sufficient volume growth to improve these returns, or if the high fixed-cost structure will continue to dilute capital efficiency.
Based on the company's reported figures, the cash conversion cycle has shown significant instability, peaking at 155 days in 2026Q1, which highlights the operational challenges of managing inventory and receivables within an environment characterized by rapid inflationary adjustments and shifting customer payment behaviors.
The elevated DIO, which reached 174 days in 2026Q1, suggests that the company may be holding significant inventory as a hedge against inflation, which ties up liquidity and increases carrying costs. This inefficient working capital management warrants further investigation into whether this is a strategic choice to preserve value or a sign of weakening demand for bulk cement.
According to recent SEC filings, the current ratio improved to 2.01 in 2026Q1 from a low of 0.87 in 2025Q2, indicating that the company has successfully bolstered its short-term liquidity position to navigate the inherent uncertainties of the domestic macroeconomic landscape.
While the improvement in the current ratio is positive, the low quick ratio of 0.65 suggests that liquidity remains heavily dependent on the liquidation of inventory. This reliance on physical stock to meet short-term obligations may pose risks if the construction sector experiences a sudden, sharp contraction in demand.
As indicated by the provided data, the P/E ratio of 73.59 is likely a misleading metric for Loma Negra, as it fails to account for the non-cash monetary gains and losses mandated by IAS 29 accounting standards in hyperinflationary economies.
Investors should prioritize Enterprise Value per Tonne of capacity over traditional earnings-based multiples, as the latter are frequently distorted by accounting restatements that do not reflect actual cash-generating capacity. Relying on P/E in this context may lead to an inaccurate assessment of the company's true valuation relative to its regional peers.
