Ferrovial stock rose after the company helped secure a $9.2 billion Tennessee highway project on August 20, 2026, giving the Spanish infrastructure group a fresh U.S. contract win to discuss with investors.
The move came after market sources said the shares traded at €57.10, up 3.63%, while another report put the intraday quote at €56.97, up 3.4% on the session.
Tennessee extends the U.S. push
The contract was awarded to a consortium led by Ferrovial and called DriveTN, with the work centered on the I-24 Southeast express lanes in Nashville. The project value was cited at $9.2 billion, and the award landed on August 20, 2026.
That matters because Ferrovial has been leaning harder into North American managed-lane infrastructure, and this deal adds another large metro market to that strategy. It also arrives with analysts' consensus still pointing to an OUTPERFORM stance and an average target price of €62.39 on 22 analysts.
What the numbers show
The market backdrop remains constructive for the name after the latest quote snapshot showed a 5-day gain of 1.56% and a year-to-date gain of 3.32% on August 20, 2026. The same data set also showed a last close of €55.10 and an average target price of €62.39.
Investing.com reported that the Tennessee award followed a solid H1 2026 earnings report, with revenue growth in U.S. managed lanes and construction EBITDA expansion. The report linked the contract win to Ferrovial's North American pivot and framed the stock move as company-specific rather than macro-driven.
Contract pipeline focus
Ferrovial's business mix still centers on toll roads, airports, construction, and energy and mobility, but the Tennessee award puts the toll-road franchise back in the spotlight. The company says it operates in more than 15 countries and remains especially exposed to the U.S., Spain, the U.K., Canada, and Poland.
The current debate for investors is whether the new Nashville project can reinforce the group's valuation case beyond the one-day move. The market is now treating the U.S. managed-lane platform as the key driver of the next rerating attempt.
Ferrovial services
DriveTN's work on the I-24 Southeast express lanes is a representative example of Ferrovial's toll-road model: finance, design, build, operate, and maintain a long-duration transport asset. That model is the one the group has been pushing most visibly in North America.
Ferrovial shares
Ferrovial shares traded at €57.10 in the latest Tradegate estimate on August 20, 2026, with the same market snapshot showing a +3.63% move and a last close of €55.10. The average target price in that data set stood at €62.39.
