Additionally, the company's gross margin of 26.07% in Q1 2026 indicates solid profitability, despite recent challenges. The main risk is the company's forward P/E ratio of 9.92, which reflects some market skepticism about future earnings growth, especially in light of the Argentine economy's slow recovery.
