📋 Highlights
  • Q4 2025 Sales & EBITDA Growth:: Sales reached $3 billion (+5% YoY), EBITDA hit $717 million (24% margin), and cash flow from operations totaled $787 million.
  • 2025 Annual Financial Performance:: Net sales of $12 billion, EBITDA of $2.9 billion, net income of $2 billion, and free cash flow of $2 billion distributed via dividends/share buybacks.
  • Argentina Market Expansion:: Added a third frac fleet, $4 billion in financing for Vaca Muerta infrastructure, and expects drilling growth in H2 2026 despite consolidation challenges.
  • International Market Stability:: Premium product demand drove offshore, Middle East, and gas projects, with stable pricing but spot tendering issues for lower-end applications.
  • 2026 Margin Outlook:: Hot-rolled coil cost headwinds of $35–40 million quarterly, but offshore projects (e.g., Sakarya) could push EBITDA margins to the top of 20–25% guidance.

Regional Performance

Tenaris faced challenges in the U.S. and Canada due to oil and gas industry consolidation and productivity improvements. However, the company raised the performance of its U.S. production and supply chain system. In Latin America, Tenaris saw opportunities in the Vaca Muerta fields, where domestic companies raised over $4 billion in financing to develop infrastructure and expand production operations. As Paolo Rocca mentioned, "the company completed the year with an EBITDA of $2.9 billion, a net income of $2 billion, and net sales of $12 billion."

Valuation and Outlook

With a P/E Ratio of 13.84 and an EV/EBITDA of 8.84, Tenaris' valuation appears reasonable. The company's dividend yield is 3.26%, and its free cash flow yield is 7.31%. Analysts estimate revenue growth at 2.6% for the next year. Tenaris' strong cash position and expected growth in the Vaca Muerta fields should support its financial performance. The company's net cash position was $3.3 billion, and it proposed a further increase in the annual dividend per share of 7%.

Operational Highlights

Tenaris is adding a third frac fleet in Argentina and sees opportunities for growth in the market, particularly with the addition of rigs by IOCs. The company's working capital is expected to be neutral in 2026, with some swings over the year. Tenaris is working to streamline its inventory levels, particularly in its Rig Direct programs. The company's offshore work is expected to materialize in the second half of the year, with projects such as Sakarya and Suriname.

Challenges and Opportunities

Tenaris faces challenges, including the impact of hot-rolled coil on ERW margins, which is expected to be around $35-40 million quarterly. However, the company's premium products are in strong demand, driven by offshore, Middle East, and gas development. Tenaris is also well-positioned to serve Chevron in Venezuela and expects to expand its activities in 2026. The company's ROE is 11.48%, and its ROIC is 10.12%, indicating a strong return on equity and invested capital.

8. Tenaris S.A.'s Porter Forces

Forces Ranking

Threat Of Substitutes

Tenaris S.A. operates in the oil and gas industry, which is highly dependent on steel pipes. While there are substitutes available, such as plastic pipes, they are not yet widely adopted, and steel pipes remain the dominant choice. Therefore, the threat of substitutes is medium.

Bargaining Power Of Customers

Tenaris S.A.'s customers are primarily large oil and gas companies, which have significant bargaining power due to their size and purchasing power. This gives them the ability to negotiate prices and terms, making the bargaining power of customers high.

Bargaining Power Of Suppliers

Tenaris S.A. is a large company with a significant market share, which gives it bargaining power over its suppliers. Additionally, the company has a diversified supply chain, which reduces its dependence on any one supplier, making the bargaining power of suppliers low.

Threat Of New Entrants

The oil and gas industry is highly capital-intensive, and entering the market requires significant investment in equipment, technology, and personnel. This barrier to entry makes it difficult for new companies to enter the market, reducing the threat of new entrants.

Intensity Of Rivalry

The oil and gas industry is highly competitive, with several large companies competing for market share. Tenaris S.A. faces intense competition from companies such as Vallourec, Nippon Steel, and Sumitomo, which drives the intensity of rivalry high.
