The businessman Demetrio Carceller has increased his presence in Sacyr's capital in recent weeks through share purchases of approximately 2.6 million euros, consolidating himself as the main shareholder of the concessions and infrastructure company.
These operations have been channeled through DISA Corporación Petrolífera (DICO) and the company Beachlake Inversiones, both controlled by the businessman himself.
Between the two companies, they have acquired a total of 560,673 shares, equivalent to 0.09% of Sacyr's capital, at an average price of 4.63 euros per share (DICO has purchased 354,135 shares at an average price of 4.61 euros and BIM 206,538 shares at an average price of 4.66 euros).
Following these purchases, Disa Corporación Petrolífera directly and indirectly holds 78,158,828 Sacyr shares, representing 12.67% of its share capital.
Given that DICO also has attributed voting rights from Satocan, which represent 1.919% of Sacyr's capital, the combined weight they control in the construction company reaches 14.598%.
On the stock market, Carceller's new investment is interpreted as a sign of support for the current management team of the Spanish multinational and as a demonstration of commitment and confidence in the Strategic Plan that the company will present at the end of this year or early 2027.
After advancing the achievement of most of the milestones set for 2025, Sacyr plans to close its current Plan a year earlier, a circumstance that has been reflected in the stock market performance of the group chaired by Manuel Manrique.
In the last 2.5 years, Sacyr has accumulated a revaluation of 45%. It currently trades above 4.6 euros per share and, since the lows recorded during the Covid crisis, its price has more than tripled, by 315%. Today, Sacyr's market capitalization exceeds 3.7 billion euros.
In the last fiscal year, the company registered a turnover of 4.66 billion euros and an adjusted net profit of 165 million euros, after excluding the accounting impact of divestments in Colombia.
This business evolution has led the group to propose a significant improvement in investor remuneration for the next general shareholders' meeting: it will propose the payment of two cash dividends totaling 0.15 gross euros per share, more than tripling the 0.045 euros paid in cash the previous year.
