Webuild SpA ( (IT:WBD) ) has issued an update.

Webuild has disclosed that NEOM has exercised its right to withdraw from the Trojena contract in Saudi Arabia, which covered the construction of three dams to supply a freshwater lake and the architectural structure known as The Bow. The withdrawal, which also affects other contractors in the area, becomes effective on 29 March 2026, at which point the project is about 30% complete and Webuild’s remaining backlog on the contract stands at roughly €2.8 billion.

Under the terms of the agreement and applicable law, NEOM will reimburse Webuild for costs incurred up to termination and for expenses related to winding down and demobilizing the site, leaving the group contractually protected from the financial impact of the early exit. Despite the loss of the Trojena work, Webuild’s construction backlog, net of the remaining activities related to the project, remains above €50 billion, suggesting that the cancellation, while sizeable, does not materially alter its substantial pipeline of infrastructure projects.

The most recent analyst rating on (IT:WBD) stock is a Buy with a EUR3.40 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Webuild SpA stock, see the IT:WBD Stock Forecast page.
