ITD's survival risk eases as water megaprojects offer a way back

  • A 172-billion-baht flood canal is coming to bid The Cabinet is set to approve the Chai Nat–Pa Sak flood diversion canal, worth about 172 billion baht. Analysts say ITD is likely to win contract packages, which would refill an order book that has shrunk for one to two years.

    This is the biggest new demand driver that could actually put work back into ITD's backlog.

  • A second water megaproject keeps the pipeline alive Asia Plus says a 165-billion-baht water management programme will help contractors over the medium to long term, naming ITD for earthworks and drainage. Construction is expected from 2027, though funding, land and bidding timing are still open questions.

    It reinforces that ITD sits in the frame for large state water work, a real counterweight to its troubles.

  • Founder Premchai hands over the top job Premchai Karnasuta retired as CEO on 1 October 2026 and his son Thoranis took over. The change comes with ITD still loss-making — a 5.78-billion-baht loss in 2024 and 11.15 billion baht of accumulated losses — so it is a fresh start, not a fix.

    A leadership change at a troubled company matters to investors, but by itself it does not repair the finances.

Vinci buys growth, returns cash, but France tax threat hits concessions

  • Vinci Energies bids for All for One Vinci's energy arm is buying German IT services firm All for One for €67.50 a share, a big premium, adding software and AI skills to its Axians business. This expands a faster-growing, higher-margin unit, which supports the shares over time.

    A major acquisition that shifts Vinci toward higher-growth energy and digital services.

  • Record order book and resilient first-half margins Vinci reported revenue up 2% and EBITDA up 4%, with a record €77 billion order book, 15 months of work, and confirmed 2026 guidance. But French motorway traffic fell 3.7% on fuel prices and heat, so the near-term concessions outlook is more cautious.

    The half-year results are the core update on Vinci's earnings power and order pipeline.

  • More cash returned: buyback and higher dividend Vinci signed a buyback agreement for up to €300 million and raised its 2026 interim dividend to €1.10 a share. Buying back stock and paying more cash signals confidence and tends to support the share price.

    Capital returns are a direct, recurring support for the share price.

  • France plans sharp motorway tax increase France proposed raising the TEITLD tax on motorway concessions to as much as 12.2% from 4.6%, raising about €800 million more a year, and barred passing it on to tolls. Vinci shares fell 2.8% to €108, near 52-week lows, as this hits Autoroutes profits.

    A direct regulatory hit to Vinci's most profitable concession business.
