Read MoreHide Full Article
YPF Sociedad Anonima (YPF - Free Report) shares soared 6.6% in the last trading session to close at $19.26. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 7.2% gain over the past four weeks.
The bullishness can be attributed to YPF Sociedad Anonima's decision to divest aging oil fields, which demonstrates a strategic approach to optimize its portfolio and focus resources on more lucrative ventures, particularly the shale operations in the Vaca Muerta formation.
