- Inclusion showcases a strong U.S. market presence and commitment to long‑term shareholder value
Amsterdam, Dec. 13, 2025 – Ferrovial, a global leader in infrastructure development, announced today that it will be added to the Nasdaq‑100 Index®. The inclusion comes roughly 18 months after the company debuted on U.S. exchanges, underscoring the success of its international expansion strategy.
“Being part of the Nasdaq‑100 highlights the robustness of our integrated business model, which spans design, financing, construction, operation and maintenance,” said Ignacio Madridejos, CEO of Ferrovial. “It expands our visibility among U.S. and global investors, broadens our shareholder base, and reflects confidence in our ability to deliver high‑value projects that fuel economic growth and support the communities where we operate.”
The index addition will take effect before the market opens on Monday, Dec. 22, 2025. Ferrovial began trading on U.S. markets in May 2024, joining its listings in Spain and the Netherlands and becoming the first IBEX 35 constituent to list ordinary shares on Nasdaq.
Ferrovial has a 20‑year track record in North America, operating toll‑express lanes in Texas, North Carolina, Virginia and Ontario, and is currently developing the New Terminal One at New York’s JFK International Airport.
Business Implications
Inclusion in the Nasdaq‑100 is more than a symbolic accolade. The index tracks the largest non‑financial U.S. stocks by market capitalization, and its composition influences billions of dollars of passive fund flows. For Ferrovial, the move is expected to:
- Boost liquidity: Greater trading volume can narrow bid‑ask spreads and improve price discovery for shareholders.
- Attract institutional capital: Many index‑tracking funds and ETFs will now be required to hold Ferrovial, expanding its institutional investor base.
- Enhance valuation multiples: Historical data shows Nasdaq‑100 constituents command a premium of 2‑5 % over comparable peers, driven by perceived growth and stability.
Strategic Outlook
Ferrovial’s North American operations account for the majority of its asset base and earnings, positioning the company to benefit from the region’s $1.2 trillion infrastructure pipeline forecast through 2030. The firm’s focus on toll‑road concessions, airport terminals, and digital toll‑collection technologies aligns with the broader shift toward asset‑light, technology‑enabled infrastructure assets. This trend promises higher margins and more predictable cash flows, essential for financing future projects.
In addition, Ferrovial’s inclusion in leading ESG benchmarks—such as the Dow Jones Best in Class Index—and its adherence to the UN Global Compact signal a strong sustainability profile. As ESG considerations become integral to investment decisions, the company’s ESG credentials could attract a new wave of responsible‑capital allocations.
Technical Highlights
- Global workforce exceeds 25,500 employees.
- Triple‑listed across the United States, Spain and the Netherlands.
- Integrated business model covering the full project lifecycle—from financing and construction to long‑term operations.
Analysts project that Ferrovial’s U.S. assets could drive earnings growth of 6‑8 % annually over the next three years, supported by rising toll revenues and the expansion of high‑technology traffic‑management systems.
Ferrovial’s Nasdaq‑100 inclusion marks a pivotal step in its evolution from a Europe‑centric operator to a truly global infrastructure powerhouse, with a clear focus on technology‑driven, sustainable growth in the United States.
