Description: YPF YPF Sociedad Anonima

YPF Sociedad Anónima is an Argentine integrated energy company that operates across the full oil and gas value chain, with activities spanning exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas, refining and commercialization of refined products, petrochemicals, and emerging segments in LNG and new energies. The company is organized into four reporting segments: Upstream, Midstream and Downstream, LNG and Integrated Gas, and New Energies. Beyond its core hydrocarbon operations, YPF produces fertilizers, crop protection products, grains, flours, oils, asphalts, naphtha, and petroleum coke, and operates in natural gas transportation, NGL fractionation, LNG liquefaction, and power generation.

Founded in 1977 and headquartered in Buenos Aires, YPF is listed on the NYSE under the ticker YPF and is classified within the GICS Integrated Oil & Gas sub-industry. As an integrated player, it benefits from vertical control over upstream production, midstream logistics, and downstream refining and marketing, while its diversification into agribusiness inputs and new energies reflects broader industry trends toward energy transition and non-fuel revenue streams.
