    YPFD: Lower Projected Upside Will Constrain Future Share Price Performance

    Analysts modestly cut their price target on YPF Sociedad Anónima from $47.80 to $44.00, reflecting updated models that incorporate a slightly lower fair value despite improved projected revenue growth, profit margins, and a more attractive future price-to-earnings multiple. Analyst Commentary Recent research updates suggest that, while the overall rating on YPF Sociedad Anónima remains constructive, the recalibration of price targets signals a more cautious stance on the balance of risk and reward at current levels.
