The CEO of YPF, Horacio Marín, celebrated the recent and historic investment made by American magnate Stanley Druckenmiller in shares of the Argentine oil company, in a transaction that reflects the interest of large international funds in the country's energy sector under the Government of Javier Milei.
Marín not only celebrated the influx of capital but also provided details about the prior relationship with the investor, highlighting the level of analysis that preceded the decision.
“He is a multibillionaire, an investment guru. Last year I went to a meeting with him, and he asked me questions for about an hour to an hour and a half, everything 4x4, why, what he was going to do, how it was, everything. I know he bought a little at that time. And the other day he bought heavily,” he expressed.
The operation, completed during the first quarter of 2026, involved the purchase of more than three million shares of YPF for an amount of 142 million dollars. This move represented a 433% increase in the investor's position compared to the previous quarter, according to filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
