The official S&P Dow Jones Indices page provides graph and table views, with separate price-return and total-return selections. When reading a chart, check the selected return series, the ARS calculation currency, and the date of the latest plotted observation. The figures available for September 14 do not establish the index level on October 7, 2026.
What the S&P/BYMA Argentina General Construction Index measures
The index measures stocks in the S&P/BYMA Argentina General Index classified in construction-related industries under GICS.

#1 Best Overall
That makes SPBYCAP a sector slice of the Argentine domestic equity universe—not a measure of the entire construction economy, a basket of building supplies, or a broad-market index.

What the dated performance figures show
Returns depend on the measurement window and the observation date. S&P’s price-return performance figures as of August 31, 2026, differ from the figures displayed with the September 14 index snapshot:
| Measure | Value | Observation date and basis |
|---|---|---|
| One day | -1.68% | September 14, 2026; price return |
| One month | -9.79% | August 31, 2026; price return |
| Three months | -9.61% | August 31, 2026; price return |
| Year to date | -23.13% | September 14, 2026; price return |
| Year to date | -19.72% | August 31, 2026; price return |
| One year | 36.87% | September 14, 2026; price return |
| One year | 26.30% | August 31, 2026; price return |
| Three years | 41.01% annualized | August 31, 2026; price return |
| Five years | 62.98% annualized | August 31, 2026; price return |
The different year-to-date and one-year values reflect different observation dates; they should not be treated as competing values for the same period. These historical returns do not predict future performance.
Constituents and concentration
S&P’s index characteristics list six constituents, with the largest constituent representing 82.5% of the index and the top ten representing 100.0%. Because the index has six constituents, the top-ten figure covers the entire index. The figures available here do not identify the current constituent names or provide a complete current weight list, so a company-level breakdown should be checked against the official index data rather than inferred from the sector label.

- Confirm whether the chart shows SPBYCAP price return or SPBYCAT total return.
- Read the date attached to the latest point; a chart’s current display is only as current as its latest observation.
- Keep the currency in view: the index is calculated in ARS, so comparisons with another currency or index may require a separate currency adjustment.
- Compare sector benchmarks using synchronized dates and like-for-like return types. A construction-sector index is not directly comparable to a broad-market index without accounting for differences in universe and concentration.
