Transportadora de Gas del Norte S.A. (ISIN ARTGNO010117) is planning a USD 2.2 billion pipeline project while second-quarter 2026 net income reached ARS 65.4 billion. iProfesional reported on September 23, 2026 that TGN had outlined the Manuel Belgrano gas pipeline and related network works.
Project scale meets execution risk
The planned system would stretch 753 kilometers from Tratayen to La Carlota and initially transport 13 million cubic meters of gas daily. The main pipeline is estimated at USD 1.5 billion, with another USD 700 million assigned to network extensions and compressor upgrades, according to iProfesional.
The commercial timetable points to capacity bids by the end of November 2026 and a planned start of operations in April 2029. That schedule makes contracted capacity, tariffs and financing the decisive variables for translating the project's scale into TGN revenue.
What do the 2026 results show?
TGN generated ARS 176.9 billion of revenue and ARS 65.4 billion of net income in the second quarter of 2026. Revenue was 4.85 percent above the ARS 168.7 billion reported for the first quarter, while net income increased 62.31 percent from ARS 40.3 billion, based on the reported quarterly statements.
For the first half of 2026, TGN's sales reached ARS 357.0 billion, EBITDA stood at ARS 206.8 billion and net income was ARS 108.5 billion, according to Somos Inversores on September 18, 2026. The figures provide an operating baseline before the new pipeline contributes to earnings.
Dates shape the next test
The next concrete milestones are the capacity tender and bid awards scheduled for the end of November 2026, followed by the targeted April 2029 start date. iProfesional said the project is intended to connect rising Vaca Muerta production with industrial, power-generation and export demand.
Stock and company profile
The last quoted home-market price stood at ARS 3,265.00 on October 15, 2026, with a market capitalization of ARS 286.9 billion. TGN operates natural-gas transportation infrastructure in Argentina and is listed under ticker TGNO4 on BYMA.
The investment case therefore turns on execution rather than the headline project size alone. Capacity commitments and the financing structure will determine how much of the planned infrastructure becomes a recurring earnings driver.
