Argentina's YPF could see earnings slide on lower crude prices

Argentine state-run oil producer YPDCB could see its core earnings this year slide on lower crude prices, a presentation for Investor day showed on Friday.

The firm currently estimates its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in 2025 will range between $5.2 billion and $5.5 billion, assuming Brent crude prices at $72.5 a barrel.

However, with crude selling for around $60 a barrel, that would bring projected EBITDA down to $4.2 billion to $4.5 billion, the firm estimated.
