Edenor is trading at ARS 1820.00, down -3.86%, amid scrutiny over the funding burden of its MetroGAS acquisition.

  • Edenor agreed to acquire YPF’s 70% MetroGAS stake and 5% MetroENERGÍA stake for US$780 million.
  • Pro-forma obligations reach US$1.415 billion, while regulatory approvals remain unresolved and MetroGAS’s license-extension outlook is uncertain.
  • The acquisition is the clearest company-specific catalyst, but available reports do not explicitly attribute the August 14 decline to one factor.
