Approach 1: Ferrovial Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis

A Discounted Cash Flow, or DCF, model estimates what a company might be worth by projecting its future cash flows and discounting them back to today using a required rate of return.

For Ferrovial, the model used is a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach. The latest twelve month free cash flow is about €1.41b. Analysts and extrapolated estimates point to projected free cash flows ranging from €723m in 2026 up to about €1.63b by 2035, all in € and adjusted back to today in the model.

Bringing those projected cash flows back to a present value gives an estimated intrinsic value of €32.50 per share. With the current share price at €63.16, the DCF output suggests the stock is 94.4% overvalued relative to this specific cash flow based estimate.

Approach 2: Ferrovial Price vs Earnings

For a profitable company like Ferrovial, the P/E ratio is a useful way to relate what you pay per share to the earnings that support that price. Investors usually accept a higher P/E when they expect stronger earnings growth or see lower risk, and a lower P/E when growth prospects are more modest or risks are higher.

Story Continues

Ferrovial currently trades on a P/E of 52.44x. That compares with a Construction industry average P/E of 15.89x and a peer group average of 31.05x, so the shares are priced well above these broad benchmarks. Simply Wall St also calculates a proprietary “Fair Ratio” of 26.54x, which is the P/E level suggested by factors such as Ferrovial’s earnings growth profile, profit margins, industry, market cap and risk characteristics.

This Fair Ratio can be more informative than a straight comparison with peers or the sector, because it aims to adjust for company specific drivers rather than assuming all firms in the group deserve similar multiples. Set against this 26.54x Fair Ratio, Ferrovial’s actual 52.44x P/E points to the shares trading on a richer earnings multiple than the model suggests.

Upgrade Your Decision Making: Choose your Ferrovial Narrative

Earlier we mentioned that there is an even better way to understand valuation. On Simply Wall St’s Community page you can use Narratives, where you and other investors link a clear story about Ferrovial to specific forecasts and a fair value. You can then compare that fair value to the current price, with the system updating automatically as new news or earnings arrive. For example, one investor might build a cautious Ferrovial Narrative closer to the lower €41.05 fair value, while another might build a more optimistic one nearer €67.00. You can see those different stories, numbers and the implied decisions on when to buy or sell, side by side.

For Ferrovial however we will make it really easy for you with previews of two leading Ferrovial Narratives:

🐂 Ferrovial Bull Case

Fair value in this bullish narrative: €67.00 per share

Implied pricing gap vs last close: 7.5% undervalued based on that fair value

Assumed revenue growth: 5.37% per year

Focuses on North American highways and airports, with assets such as 407 ETR and JFK New Terminal One seen as key long term cash generators. Assumes revenue growth of 5.4% a year and a shift to a 44.1x P/E by 2029 on €1.4b of earnings, using a 7.7% discount rate. Highlights a large construction order book and a pipeline of new concessions, while flagging execution, traffic, pricing and regulatory risks that could challenge this optimistic path.

🐻 Ferrovial Bear Case

Fair value in this more cautious narrative: €59.90 per share

Implied pricing gap vs last close: 5.4% overvalued based on that fair value

Assumed revenue growth: 4.19% per year

Questions whether recent toll pricing, urban growth and green project enthusiasm justify current expectations for Ferrovial’s assets. Builds on analyst assumptions of 3.9% annual revenue growth, margin compression to around 8% and a higher future P/E multiple, with a discount rate close to 8%. Points to risks around traffic volumes, regulation, capital recycling and U.S. project bidding, even though it acknowledges support from North American growth, a large order book and sector tailwinds.
