Spanish infrastructure firms ownership changes

Overview

In June 2026, María del Pino Calvo‑Sotelo sold roughly €484 million of Ferrovial shares through her family vehicle, Menosmares, reducing her holding to approximately 8.5%. Simultaneously, Florentino Pérez, president of ACS, increased his ownership to 14.752% via Rosán Inversiones, controlling 40.86 million shares valued at about €5.25 billion and becoming the company’s largest shareholder.

By July 2026, ACS’s market capitalization had surged from €7.6 billion to nearly €34 billion, tripling since La Caixa’s €983 million investment in May 2024. This growth, which positioned ACS as a top gainer on the Ibex 35, is attributed to a strategic pivot toward technology-related infrastructure, including data centers, semiconductors, and defense. Criteria (the investment arm of Fundación La Caixa) saw its 9.36% stake rise in value to approximately €3.05 billion.

In August 2026, Pérez increased his stake for the third time that year, reaching a historic high of 15.015% through Rosán Inversiones. This holding, comprising 41.61 million shares, was valued at approximately €4.54 billion at a share price of €109.1. The accumulation follows strong financial results, including a 13.3% increase in attributable net profit to €510 million in the first half of 2026, driven largely by engineering, construction, and the U.S.-based subsidiary, Turner.
