Hochtief

Hochtief continues to secure large contracts, including AI data centers, a framework agreement in Sellafield and a contract from the US Air Force, pushing the order backlog to €84.8 billion as of June 30, 2026. Despite strong order intake and growth potential across several sectors, the P/E ratio stands at nearly 28, leaving the stock in a downtrend since its May 2026 peak. The key for the share price will be how quickly orders are converted into revenue and earnings and whether the nine‑month figures on November 5 can meet expectations. » More on finanzen.net

HOCHTIEF has won a long-term framework contract worth up to £1.5 billion for the operation, maintenance and further development of the Sellafield nuclear site. The contract runs for up to 15 years (nine years plus a six-year option) and replaces a previous framework agreement. HOCHTIEF will provide a wide range of services in partly radiation-controlled, operational areas; the site's focus is on remediation, decommissioning and safe storage of nuclear waste. CEO Juan Santamaría sees nuclear infrastructure as a significant growth market; HOCHTIEF is majority-owned by ACS. » More on finanzen.net

Hochtief shares lost around 7.9% in trading and fell to €383.3 after calls by leading US tech executives for a slowdown in AI development put pressure on semiconductor stocks and cyclical names. A markedly risk-averse market and a Jefferies price target below expectations intensified the selling pressure. Operationally, Hochtief remains solid despite the share price decline thanks to strong H1 results and a record order backlog. » More on de.investing.com
