US Appeals Court Temporarily Halts Turnover of Argentina's YPF Shares

YPF
October 08, 2025

A U.S. appeals court has granted Argentina's request to put a temporary hold on a judge's order that mandated the turnover of its 51% stake in YPF. This decision provides a reprieve in the ongoing legal battle concerning a $16.1 billion judgment won by two investors.

The temporary hold means that the immediate transfer of YPF's Class D shares, which represent the Argentine state's controlling interest, will not proceed as previously ordered. This development offers a period of stability for YPF regarding its ownership structure.

This ruling is a significant update to the legal proceedings, alleviating the immediate pressure on Argentina to divest its stake. The temporary halt allows for further legal arguments and potentially a more prolonged resolution to the complex ownership dispute.
