What's Happening?
Spanish construction companies ACS and Acciona have split to compete for the $3 billion I-77 highway project in the United States. They are up against other Spanish firms, including Ferrovial, Sacyr, and FCC.
This move comes as part of a broader strategy to expand their presence in the U.S. infrastructure market. Additionally, Viscofan has approved a 2025 gross interim dividend of at least 1.40 euros per share, and Oryzon Genomics plans a share capital increase of up to 125 million euros.
Why It's Important?

Successful bids could lead to significant business opportunities and revenue growth for these companies. The U.S. infrastructure market is seen as lucrative, with potential for long-term contracts and partnerships. This development also highlights the strategic importance of international expansion for Spanish firms seeking to diversify their portfolios and mitigate domestic market risks.
What's Next?
The bidding process for the I-77 highway project will be closely watched by industry analysts and stakeholders. The outcome could influence future investment decisions and strategic partnerships in the U.S. infrastructure sector. Additionally, the proposed share capital increase by Oryzon Genomics may impact its financial strategy and market positioning. Investors will be keen to see how these developments unfold and their implications for the Spanish stock market.
