Segmental Performance

The company's U.S. infrastructure projects continue to drive growth, with I-77's revenue growth at 28% year-on-year, mainly due to toll rate increases. The U.S. Managed Lanes pipeline remains strong with six ongoing projects. The Airports division is also performing well, with the New Terminal One project at JFK Airport remaining on schedule and on budget. The energy segment distributed EUR 54 million in dividends due to the return of invested equity after closing project finance.

Valuation and Outlook

With a P/E Ratio of 119.15 and an EV/EBITDA of 49.75, Ferrovial's valuation multiples indicate a premium pricing. The company's ROE is 6.13%, and ROIC is 1.31%, indicating a relatively efficient use of capital. The dividend yield is 1.77%, providing a relatively stable return for shareholders. Ferrovial maintains its shareholder distribution guidance of EUR 2.2 billion for '24 and '26. The expansion of the TIFIA framework by the DOT is seen as positive, improving the financeability of large projects.

Key Highlights and Risks

The company's U.S. GAAP reporting analysis is ongoing, but there are no short-term plans to switch. Schedule 22 provisions are complex and subject to change, making it difficult to estimate the threshold. The removal of tolls on the 407 East extension may potentially benefit the 407 ETR asset, but it's too early to tell. Budimex's order inflows were weak in the first half, but the company is optimistic about the future due to European funds and investment in Poland.
