Upturn Advisory & Investor View for CRESY

09/25/2026: CRESY (1-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

Cresud is a diversified holding company that provides investors with a unique, combined exposure to Latin American agricultural production and urban commercial real estate. Its strengths include a significant, inflation-hedged land bank and strategic ownership in high-quality commercial properties, offering a hedge against local currency volatility. While the potential for valuation re-ratings during economic turnarounds presents a compelling investment story, the company faces substantial risks from regional macroeconomic instability, currency devaluation, and commodity price cycles. Cresud is generally suited for value-oriented investors who can tolerate high volatility. Investors should closely monitor Argentine economic policies and climate-driven harvest outcomes for potential developments.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
CRESY receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
CRESY has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, strong growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2026 versus FY2025, strong earnings growth (+84.4%) and strong revenue growth (+50.9%) are partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin 0.6%), very low insider ownership of 0.53%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
CRESY's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $8.5B (0.6% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is CRESY's strongest growth driver at +15281.1% FY2026 versus FY2025 (strong, 5 stars). Revenue growth (+50.9%, strong) and earnings growth (+84.4%, strong) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 22.5% and approximately 56.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.53%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

MIRAE ASSET GLOBAL ETFS HOLDINGS Ltd. 1.32%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
CRESY generates approximately $406 of gross profit, $280 of operating income, and $6 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2026 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 23.94%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
CRESY has a liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
