What Budimex does

Poland's largest construction company, building roads, rail and buildings, majority owned by Spain's Ferrovial.

Wins construction contracts mostly through public tenders and earns revenue as work is completed, so results follow the size and timing of road, rail and building programmes, many co-funded by the EU. Many contracts are fixed-price, which exposes it to rises in materials and labour costs. Spain's Ferrovial holds a majority.

In one line: Poland's largest construction company (Ferrovial-controlled).

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
