Eiffage, Vinci shares fall as France plans motorway and airport tax hike
Eiffage and Vinci shares fell sharply on Tuesday after the French government proposed a significant increase in the tax on motorway concessions and major airports. Eiffage shares fell 3.4% to €102.35, while Vinci shares dropped 2.8% to €108, with both stocks trading near their 52-week lows. The government plans to raise the tax on long-distance transport infrastructure, known as TEITLD, to as much as 12.2% from 4.6%, a measure expected to raise about €800 million in additional annual revenue and take total proceeds to roughly €1.4 billion from around €600 million currently. The proposal would apply a progressive rate based on operator profitability, with the current tax applying to companies generating more than €120 million in infrastructure revenue and with average profitability above 10%, and the government said it would be included in its 2027 budget proposal. The planned increase is particularly relevant to Vinci Autoroutes and Eiffage's motorway concession business, whose APRR and AREA networks generated €1.46 billion of toll revenue in the first half of 2026, and the government said it would prevent motorway operators from passing the higher tax through to toll prices, while airport operators have greater scope to reflect the tax in customer pricing. The additional revenue is intended to fund a new "Ambition transports" fund for maintaining, modernising and adapting existing transport infrastructure.

Vinci Energies Wins Multi-Year Sweden Electricity Grid Contract
VINCI unit VINCI Energies has secured a multi-year contract to maintain a major electricity distribution network in Sweden. The agreement covers long term upkeep of critical grid assets and expands VINCI Energies' operational presence in the Nordic power infrastructure market. The contract includes extension options that could lengthen the partnership and increase VINCI Energies' role in Sweden's electricity distribution system. Vinci is a €62.6b construction group that combines concessions, energy services and large scale infrastructure projects, and the Swedish grid work plugs directly into its wider energy contracting activity across Europe rather than being a one off contract win. For investors, the deal reinforces the energy transition and recurring services catalyst in Vinci's narrative rather than its more cyclical transport concessions, which recently saw declines in VINCI Autoroutes intercity traffic and softer airport movements for the year to date in 2026.

Net financial debt increased by around EUR3 billion, reflecting typical seasonality, and the company faces a higher tax charge, including an extended corporate income tax surcharge expected to total over EUR400 million for the full year.
