Bulls say / Bears say
First-half 2026 showed strong operating momentum: net profit attributable to the group rose 24% to €74 million, EBITDA increased 10% to €487 million, and the EBITDA margin expanded to 17%. (Reuters)
Forward revenue visibility is unusually strong: the order book reached a record €17.7 billion, up from €14.7 billion a year earlier, with major contributions from projects in Mexico, Angola and Brazil. (Reuters)
Growth is increasingly supported by higher-return and longer-duration activities: Africa and Latin America delivered revenue growth in the first half, while new awards included a 30-year DRC railway concession and additional contracts in Nigeria and Peru. (Reuters)
Europe remains a weak spot: first-half 2026 revenue and EBITDA both fell 20% year over year, while delayed project consignments pushed the expected recovery toward the second half, increasing execution-timing risk. (Reuters)
Balance-sheet and funding risk remain material: net debt was €1.99 billion, or 1.94x trailing EBITDA, while the average interest rate including leasing and factoring was 7.1%, leaving earnings sensitive to financing costs. (ECO News)
Mota-Engil’s international footprint creates meaningful foreign-exchange and liquidity exposure across African and Latin American currencies; the company also notes that construction operations have significant working-capital needs before completed work converts to cash.
