Vinci shares rise 6% on the Paris Stock Exchange after the announcement of its results

Shares in French construction and energy services giant Vinci jumped more than 6% on the Paris Stock Exchange on Friday, February 6, after the group presented annual results above analysts' forecasts, particularly in terms of revenue.

It was up 5,57% at 129,05 euros around 9:40 AM (Paris time), after gaining more than 6% in early trading, leading the CAC 40 stocks, which were down 0,71%.

Vinci's revenue rose 4% last year to €74,6 billion, according to its earnings release published Thursday evening after the stock market closed. Analysts cited by Factset had forecast slightly less than €74 billion.

Vinci "presented solid results," note analysts at Oddo BhF bank. They also point to "strong cash flow generation."

Analysts further point out that this indicator came in at "7 billion euros, compared to a consensus of 4,6 billion euros, after 6,8 billion euros in 2024".

The group was driven by "successful integration of recent acquisitions and sustained growth in energy services and concessions" last year, argued Pierre Anjolras, its chief executive.

This has strengthened "the group's international presence, where it generates nearly 60% of its revenue and more than 50% of its net income," he added.

"In a turbulent global macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, the decentralized and multi-local organization (of Vinci) has, once again, demonstrated its relevance," Mr. Anjolras emphasized.

In this context, "Vinci is approaching 2026 with serenity, discipline and boldness," he continued, with "a long-term vision driven by the energy transition, the digital transformation, mobility needs as well as sovereignty issues."
