Graham Hunt's questions to Ferrovial SE (FER) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Graham Hunt from Jefferies Financial Group Inc. questioned whether stronger-than-expected upstream dividends from projects could lead to an increase in shareholder returns and sought commentary on the impact of U.S. policy changes, including the TIFIA framework expansion and environmental regulations.
Answer
CEO Ignacio Madridejos confirmed that project dividends are tied to strong asset performance but reiterated the company's commitment to its existing shareholder distribution guidance of €2.2 billion for the 2024-2026 period. He viewed the TIFIA expansion from 33% to 49% as very positive for financing large projects and noted that while no impact from environmental staffing changes has been seen yet, streamlining permits could be a future benefit.
