YPF is trading 5.2% up at $51.10 following a credit rating upgrade from Fitch Ratings and continued bullish sentiment.

  • On May 26, Fitch Ratings upgraded YPF's Long-Term Foreign and Local Currency Issuer Default Ratings to 'B-' from 'CCC+'.
  • The upgrade was driven by an improvement in Argentina's sovereign rating and YPF's strong strategic importance and improving operating metrics.
  • This news has extended a strong upswing that began in mid-May, with the stock significantly outperforming the broader market.
