Biggest thing to watch: the price is not yet in a clear uptrend, so timing is the risk more than the business. ## What is the Central Puerto S.A. share price today? Central Puerto S.A.'s share price was $10.33 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been moving sideways for 14 weeks. That is 28.9% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $10 and $18, and at that close it was at the low of that range. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 14 weeks running. Over the last 8.7 years the share price moved −40% while the S&P 500 moved +188%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 31 July 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Central Puerto S.A. pay? Central Puerto S.A. declared ₹164.00 per local share for Dec 2025. It reports in its home currency, and one US-listed share can stand for several local shares, so we do not set this against the dollar price or show a yield. ## Which stock lists is Central Puerto S.A. on? Central Puerto S.A. is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Central Puerto S.A. profitable? Central Puerto S.A. earned ₹136 B of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +60.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY25 profit was ₹353 B. That is 19.6% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹85.0 B. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY25 profit was ₹353 B (+337.9% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +224.7% on a year earlier and the margin moved +6.2 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +116.9% and revenue +81.2%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra rupee of revenue adds more to profit. This company reports in its home currency, not US dollars, so the money charts are left out here. The figures in the text are in that currency (₹); nothing is converted. ## How much revenue does Central Puerto S.A. make, and is it growing? Central Puerto S.A. reported ₹697 B of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +224.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 4th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 77.2% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at ₹1,097 B. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,674 B. FY25 revenue was ₹1,097 B, +13.0% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +81.2% on average, against 77.2% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +74.9%, against +41.3% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +151.5%, against +18.1% a year (accelerating). This company reports in its home currency, not US dollars, so the money charts are left out here. The figures in the text are in that currency (₹); nothing is converted. ## How much of its sales does Central Puerto S.A. keep? Central Puerto S.A.'s operating margin was 24.8% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 6.2 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 21.5% and 41.3%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why: the operating margin move is clear, but the cost details behind it are not in our data, so we show the move without guessing the reason. ## Is Central Puerto S.A.'s profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 136% of Central Puerto S.A.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in ₹411 B of operating cash against ₹353 B of profit. After ₹295 B of spending on assets, ₹116 B was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. This company reports in its home currency, not US dollars, so the money charts are left out here. The figures in the text are in that currency (₹); nothing is converted. ## Where does Central Puerto S.A.'s cash go? Central Puerto S.A. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent ₹504 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 15.3% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: ₹504 B over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. This company reports in its home currency, not US dollars, so the money charts are left out here. The figures in the text are in that currency (₹); nothing is converted. ## What is Central Puerto S.A.'s P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Central Puerto S.A.'s P/E is 4.9×, with too little history to compare. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. In short: there is too little history to say whether the multiple is high or low for this company, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Central Puerto S.A. business getting better or worse? Central Puerto S.A.'s business is giving mixed signals. Growth has been steadily positive, but ROE at 13.5% is below the 15% level needed to call it steady growth. This is based on 12 quarters of 3 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. The return figures here are yearly, not quarterly. They show level and direction only; they can support the growth lines but never decide the reading alone. This reading has some gaps: at least one line is short, or the return line is not the quarterly series, so treat it with a little more caution. ## How much does Central Puerto S.A. earn on its capital? Central Puerto S.A. earned a ROE of 14% in FY25. That is up from a low of −1% in FY21. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 4.6 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 32.2% net margin and 0.30× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 32.2% net margin × 0.30× asset turnover × 1.40× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 13.5% on equity. The margin does most of the work; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 8.6% − 4.0% = +4.6 percentage points. The 4.0% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Positive but thin: it creates value with little room for error. ## Does Central Puerto S.A. have too much debt? Central Puerto S.A. has total debt of ₹1,025 B against shareholder equity of ₹3,062 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.33× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.34 in FY21 to 0.19 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. This company reports in its home currency, not US dollars, so the money charts are left out here. The figures in the text are in that currency (₹); nothing is converted. ## What is the Central Puerto S.A. shareholding pattern? We have no ownership or short-position figures for Central Puerto S.A., so this section says so rather than fill the gap. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 2.8 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. ## How far is Central Puerto S.A. from balance-sheet trouble? For Central Puerto S.A., the Z-score is not available, so we say so rather than guess one. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections show the balance-sheet figures we do have, each with its own date. ## How does Central Puerto S.A. rank in its industry?
