The Del Pino family construction company awaits approval from the American supervisor to begin trading in the United States. Ferrovial had planned and announced the stock market debut on the other side of the Atlantic for the first quarter of this year.

The company justified the move of its headquarters to the Netherlands a little over a year ago, precisely, as a necessary step to jump into the large US market and attract investment. “It puts us on the map as a reference company in infrastructure,” the company explains. The interest in seducing investors in the U.S. and Canada is logical. Both economies offer a favorable environment for infrastructure in 2024, with economic growth, which will translate into increased traffic and inflation still high. Even mature concessions – such as the Canadian highway 407 ETR – along with American ones in the launch phase in Texas, Virginia or Charlotte are performing better than expected, analysts emphasize. Although the group's debt is relatively high – around 6.8 billion euros – it is linked to secure concessions and structured for the long term.
