Pampa's Q3 confirmed accelerating shale growth, improving margins, and a stronger portfolio mix, supporting my buy stance as the company transitions from resilience to structural expansion. Management guides for sharp production increases through 2026-2027, alongside declining lifting costs and a heavy capex cycle fully supported by a solid balance sheet. Despite a 30% rally since August, Pampa still trades at a meaningful valuation discount while delivering stronger projected growth in EPS, EBITDA and revenue than its sector.
