Description: LOMA Loma Negra Compania November 11, 2025
Loma Negra Compañía Industrial Argentina S.A. (NYSE: LOMA) is Argentina’s largest cement producer, operating since 1926 and now a subsidiary of Intercement Trading E Inversiones Argentina. The firm manufactures cement, masonry cement, lime, aggregates, ready-mix concrete, and provides rail logistics and industrial-waste recycling services under brands such as Loma Negra, San Martín, and Lomax.
The business is organized into six segments-Cement, Masonry Cement & Lime; Concrete; Rail Services; Aggregates; and Others-serving wholesale distributors, concrete producers, and industrial end-users. In 2023 the company reported a capacity of roughly 12 Mt of cement and 4 Mt of aggregates, giving it an estimated 45-50 % share of the domestic cement market, a figure that underpins its pricing power in a high-inflation environment.
Key drivers of Loma Negra’s performance include Argentina’s construction activity (which is highly sensitive to GDP growth and fiscal policy), the peso’s volatility (affecting input costs and debt servicing), and the firm’s ability to offset energy expenses through waste-to-fuel conversion. Recent quarterly data show a 12 % YoY increase in ready-mix concrete volumes, while EBITDA margins have held above 15 % despite inflationary pressure-a sign of operational resilience.
