Upturn Advisory & Investor View for BMA

11/06/2026: BMA (4-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Banco Macro SA is a major private-sector bank in Argentina, known for its extensive interior branch network and solid capital foundation. The bank is well-positioned to benefit from any potential long-term macroeconomic stabilization in Argentina, as it provides fundamental financial services to a broad base of individual and corporate clients. However, the stock carries significant risks associated with the country's economic volatility, currency devaluation, and restrictive regulatory environment. It may best suit value-oriented investors who are comfortable with high-risk, emerging-market exposure. Key developments to monitor include changes in Argentine fiscal policy, central bank dividend regulations, and the bank’s progress in digital platform adoption.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
BMA receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
BMA has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, soft growth momentum, and soft ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, moderate earnings growth (+3.6%) is partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin 0.0%), negative revenue growth (-10.0%), soft profitability (net margin 5.8%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
BMA's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $1.6B (0.0% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is BMA's strongest growth driver at +3.6% FY2025 versus FY2024 (moderate, 3 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-10.0%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-99.8%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 11.9% (soft) and 33.6% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable (moderate). Insider ownership is only 0.16%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
BMA generates approximately $505 of gross profit, $102 of operating income, and $0 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Soft margins explain the 2-star rating, with weak cash conversion and moderate capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 43.11%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
BMA has a relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
