Ferrovial SE Business Summary

Ferrovial SE (FER) is a global infrastructure operator and developer that generates revenue through long-term concession fees, construction contracts, and energy infrastructure services. The company operates through four primary business segments: Toll Roads, which manages high-value assets like the 407 ETR in Toronto and U.S. Managed Lanes (NTE, LBJ, I-66); Airports, currently focused on the New Terminal One at JFK; Construction, which provides engineering and building capabilities for internal and external projects; and Energy Infrastructure & Mobility.
