This week’s share performance
YPF shares on the New York Stock Exchange last closed at $50.43 on 06/18/2026, with a modest move in extended trading to $50.70 that evening according to MarketBeat data. MarketBeat quote overview The stock has been trading near multi-year highs this year, reflecting improved sentiment on Argentina and solid oil prices.
On a five-day view into Friday, the chart shows relatively tight daily ranges after a strong run earlier in the quarter, with no company-specific headlines driving outsized swings. That muted pattern contrasts with some earlier weeks that saw sharper reactions to macro news from Argentina.
How YPF stacks up against peers
In the wider energy sector, YPF sits in a group with major integrated oil companies but also carries emerging-market and national-oil-company risk. Over recent months, the stock’s performance has broadly tracked the rally in crude benchmarks while also discounting Argentina’s policy shift under the Milei administration.
Compared with global oil majors, YPF’s valuation metrics remain below the likes of ExxonMobil or Shell on price-to-earnings and enterprise-value-to-EBITDA measures, a gap that partly reflects country risk and the company’s history of capital controls. However, from a year-to-date perspective, YPF’s percentage gain has outpaced some developed-market peers.
The product behind the stock
YPF’s core business is exploration, production, refining and marketing of oil and gas in Argentina, anchored by its work in the Vaca Muerta shale formation. The company operates refineries and a nationwide service-station network, selling fuels, lubricants and petrochemical products to households and industry.
