About CRESUD INC

Cresud Inc. is an agribusiness and land-asset company listed in the United States on the NASDAQ market (United States), with a business model centered on large-scale agricultural production, farmland ownership and development, and—through related holdings—real estate and investment assets in South America. The company’s roots are Argentine and date back to its incorporation on December 31, 1936. Its origins trace to a subsidiary of Credit Foncier, a Belgian company involved in rural and urban lending in Argentina, which helps explain Cresud’s long-standing expertise in land development and real asset management.

That matters for international investors because, although the company has access to U.S. capital markets and its ADSs trade on the NASDAQ, its economic exposure remains heavily tied to Latin American agriculture and to Argentine macroeconomic conditions. The company describes its business around an agricultural platform that includes crop production, cattle, and farmland operations, while historically it has also expanded into urban property and investment activities through IRSA. In practice, this makes Cresud a hybrid exposure: part commodity-linked agribusiness, part land-development story, with value creation driven by operating performance and by appreciation or monetization of underlying assets. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1034957/000165495420012514/cresudfs.htm)) From a competitive standpoint, Cresud stands out for its scale, longevity, and regional footprint. The company highlights a presence across Argentina and broader South America, including Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay, with participation in agricultural operations and, indirectly, through BrasilAgro. That regional diversification can support long-term growth, but it also exposes the company to weather volatility, commodity price swings, transportation bottlenecks, land-use regulation, and country risk. For investors in France, Belgium, and Switzerland, Cresud is therefore best understood as a high-beta real assets and agriculture play rather than a defensive consumer or industrial name.

In 2026, Cresud announced additional note issuances in the local Argentine market, including a filing on April 28, 2026 for notes totaling the equivalent of USD 64.2 million, following another issuance announced on December 4, 2025. The company also disclosed warrant exercises during 2026. Earlier company disclosures mention more than 60.6 million warrants outstanding as of the 2025 annual report, alongside a share repurchase program approved in 2024. Taken together, these updates suggest Cresud is managing a flexible capital structure while funding land, farming, and portfolio opportunities. For equity investors, the core attraction remains the combination of farmland, operating agriculture, and optionality on South American land values—balanced against meaningful exposure to inflation, FX, and regional political risk.
