Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos S.A. BYMAF

Company Overview

Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos S.A. (BYMA) is Argentina’s primary stock exchange and capital markets infrastructure operator. The company operates integrated securities trading, clearing, settlement, custody, and market data businesses, serving institutional investors, broker-dealers, listed companies, banks, and retail participants in the Argentine financial system. BYMA was formed in 2017 following the restructuring of Argentina’s capital markets framework and the separation of market functions previously held by Mercado de Valores de Buenos Aires S.A. and Bolsa de Comercio de Buenos Aires. The company’s shares trade in Argentina under the ticker BYMA and in the U.S. over-the-counter market under the ticker BYMAF.

BYMA operates across the financial exchange and post-trade infrastructure industries, with core revenue drivers including cash equity trading, derivatives-related services, settlement and custody fees, technology services, and market data distribution. The company holds a central position within Argentina’s capital markets ecosystem because it combines exchange operations with clearing and depository infrastructure. Its strategic advantages include regulatory integration, strong domestic market share, established relationships with Argentine financial institutions, and ownership interests in key financial market infrastructure assets. BYMA has also expanded its digital and retail investor capabilities as Argentina’s securities participation rates have increased.
