Central Puerto (ISIN US1550382014) bought back 120,000 ordinary shares on October 22, 2026, according to TipRanks. The company now has two near-term reference points for investors: the capital-allocation move and third-quarter results expected in November.
Three events and their figures
On August 12, 2026, Central Puerto reported second-quarter adjusted EBITDA of USD 145.0 million, up 136.2 percent from USD 61.4 million in the second quarter of 2025, while revenue reached USD 453.3 million, according to the Yahoo Finance transcript. On October 14, 2026, the company announced that it expected to release third-quarter results on November 11, 2026. On October 22, 2026, it purchased 120,000 shares for ARS 231.9 million, the latest event in this timeline.
What does the buyback mean for capital?
The purchase carried an average price of ARS 1,932.26 per share and did not exceed 25 percent of average daily trading volume over the previous 90 business days, TipRanks reported. That provides a clear compliance measure for the transaction, while the cash outlay gives investors a concrete scale for the latest capital-allocation decision.
The second-quarter numbers show why the November report matters. Adjusted EBITDA of USD 145.0 million was 20.1 percent higher than the first quarter of 2026, while revenue of USD 453.3 million was 82.3 percent above the prior quarter. The earnings call also said battery-storage projects were scheduled for commercial operation in the fourth quarter of 2026 and could add USD 25.0 million to USD 27.0 million of adjusted EBITDA in 2027, according to Yahoo Finance.
November 11 results, November 12 call
The Globe and Mail reported that Central Puerto expects to release third-quarter results on November 11, 2026, after a board meeting scheduled for November 6, 2026. Management is scheduled to discuss the figures on November 12, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. ET. The release date could move to November 9, 2026 if the relevant public-holiday decree is repealed.
