Mota-Engil (ISIN PTMEN0AE0005) was trading at EUR 4.79 at Lang & Schwarz on October 14, 2026 at 11:04 a.m. CEST, 1.05 percent above the Xetra close of October 13, 2026 at EUR 4.74. The price remains 22.87 percent below the 52-week high of EUR 6.21. Yahoo Finance reported the first-half 2026 results call on September 24, 2026, highlighting higher profit and a large project backlog.

Profit growth strengthens the case

In the first half of 2026, Mota-Engil generated EUR 74.00 million in net profit after minorities, up 24.00 percent from the first half of 2025. Turnover reached EUR 2.00 billion, an increase of 6.00 percent year over year, while the EBITDA margin stood at 17.00 percent, according to Yahoo Finance.

The comparison matters because profit expanded much faster than turnover during the same six-month period. Mota-Engil also reported EUR 1.99 billion of net debt and EUR 159.00 million of free cash flow for the first half of 2026, putting cash conversion at 33.00 percent of EBITDA.

Backlog reaches EUR 17.7 billion

The order position provides the operating counterweight to the debt figure. Mota-Engil reported a EUR 17.7 billion backlog at the end of June 2026, including EUR 4.1 billion of new awards during the first half, while EUR 2.5 billion of contracts signed after June were excluded from that figure.

Management also outlined a 2026 objective of growth above 10.00 percent and an EBITDA margin of at least 17.00 percent. The first-half turnover increase of 6.00 percent means the second half must deliver faster growth for the annual objective to be met, making contract execution and cash conversion central valuation variables.
