AI Summary

Edenor reported a Q2 2026 net profit of ARS 31.3 billion, a 75% decrease compared to Q2 2025, primarily due to a one-off gain from a CAMMESA settlement in the prior year. Revenues for the quarter increased 10% to ARS 918.5 billion, driven by tariff regularization. The company also announced a binding offer to acquire 70% of Metrogas and 5% of MetroEnergia, signaling strategic expansion.
