Three milestones in 2026

On August 27, 2026, Mota-Engil reported first-half 2026 net profit of EUR 74.00 million, up 24.00 percent from the first half of 2025, according to the Yahoo Finance transcript.

What supports the rail expansion?

The Mexico award adds an infrastructure contract to a business already carrying a EUR 17.70 billion backlog at the end of June 2026. That backlog was up 10.00 percent year over year, while management said contracts signed after June represented another EUR 2.50 billion, according to Yahoo Finance.

The contract covers viaducts, stations, tunnels, bridges and pedestrian crossings. The ruling gives the consortium 97.10 points out of 100, compared with 85.93 points for the second-ranked bid, while work is scheduled to begin on October 17, 2026, after signing on October 16, 2026, BNamericas reported.
