Key Facts
Shares of Eiffage and Vinci declined following reports of French government plans to increase taxes on highway and airport operators. Investing.com reported that the move is part of France's broader fiscal strategy to improve sustainability and manage national debt by targeting profitable infrastructure concessions.
FGR.PA closed at 106 EUR on September 28, 2026, having reached a day low of 105.65 EUR during the session. The potential tax hikes present a direct negative impact on margins for major infrastructure players, although fiscal concerns in France were already partially priced into the market over the last week.
