Ferrovial-Led Consortium Wins $9.2B I-24 Choice Lanes Project in Tennessee
Ferrovial announced on August 19 that it has been selected to deliver the I-24 Southeast Choice Lanes, a 26-mile project running between Nashville and Murfreesboro, at a price tag of $9.2 billion. The project is the largest single capital investment in Tennessee's history and the state's first public-private partnership, and Ferrovial is not carrying it alone, since its DriveTN consortium also counts Transurban and Tikehau Star Infra as partners. Ferrovial's July 28 results showed adjusted EBITDA up 21.6% on a like-for-like basis to €746 million over the first six months of the year, with U.S. highways doing most of the lifting, and the construction order book reached an all-time high of €18 billion. Net profit for the first half of 2026 came in at €258 million, versus €540 million for the same period of 2025, a comparison made harsh by capital gains from asset rotation in the earlier figure. Ferrovial ended the first half with €1.3 billion in net cash, excluding infrastructure projects, and has finished funding the $1.1 billion in equity it pledged for New Terminal One at JFK, where construction is 92% complete.
DeNA's Q1 Net Profit Jumps 198.5% to 33.4 Billion Yen, Lifted by GO Listing Gain
DeNA's first-quarter results for the fiscal year ending March 2027, announced on August 5 under IFRS on a consolidated basis, showed revenue of 37.166 billion yen, down 10.9% year on year; operating profit of 7.411 billion yen, down 46.3%; pre-tax profit of 49.753 billion yen, up 213.5%; and net profit of 33.438 billion yen, up 198.5%. The main reason for the operating profit decline was the reaction to the game app Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, launched in October 2024, which had greatly boosted results in the same quarter a year earlier; revenue in the games business came to 12.12 billion yen, down 33.2%, and segment profit was just 3.826 billion yen, down 62.0%. Net profit, meanwhile, grew sharply because the taxi-hailing app GO, an equity-method affiliate, listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market. In addition to selling part of its stake, DeNA revalued its remaining holding at fair value, booking 39.517 billion yen in equity-method investment gains and losses, bringing equity-method investment profit to 40.571 billion yen. By business, the sports and smart city segment performed strongly with revenue of 13.216 billion yen, up 16.0% year on year, and segment profit of 4.551 billion yen, up 24.4%, surpassing the games business's segment profit of 3.826 billion yen and driving first-quarter earnings. The company also announced on August 24 the details of its shareholder benefits for the fiscal year ending March 2027, with a record date of September 30, adding a THE LIVE CENTRAL BAR digital drink coupon to the five types of benefits based on the number of shares held.

An initial fleet of fully electric Jaguar I-PACE vehicles will arrive in Singapore within a few months, and in 2027 trained autonomous driving specialists will carry out manual driving in the initial phase to adapt Waymo's autonomous driving system, Waymo Driver, to local road layouts and monsoon weather patterns, with the launch of public service expected in 2028. The company is working with Singapore's Ministry of Transport and the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to bring the service to the country, and Transport Minister Chee said, "Singapore welcomes Waymo as the latest autonomous vehicle operator." On the 15th, Waymo also announced plans to launch Japan's first fully autonomous commercial taxi service in Tokyo in 2027.
