Winston Score History

The full picture

Ferrovial is a Spanish infrastructure company that builds and operates toll roads, airports, and other large public works projects. Its main customers are governments and travelers who use its highways and airports every day. The company is best known for owning stakes in major assets like the 407 Express Toll Route in Canada and Heathrow Airport in the United Kingdom.

Ferrovial makes money primarily by collecting tolls and airport fees, which provide steady, long-term cash flows tied to contracts that can last decades. It operates mainly in North America, Europe, and Australia, and its market cap of roughly $47 billion reflects the scale of its global infrastructure portfolio. The company's main competitive advantage is its long-term concession agreements, which act as barriers to entry, but its relatively low ROIC of 3.9% highlights the capital-intensive nature of the business, and rising interest rates remain a key risk since infrastructure projects are typically funded with significant debt.

Growth + cash flow

Ferrovial SE is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 16%. The Winston Score doesn't fully credit this transition from "burner" to "earner."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
