"Ferrovial delivered an exceptional first half of 2026, driven by strong performance across our North American assets. Our Construction division also achieved a record order book. Looking ahead, we see significant opportunities in complex greenfield projects and the growing momentum for P3 developments in the U.S., and we're confident in our ability to continue generating long-term value," said Ignacio Madridejos, Ferrovial CEO.
