Executive summary
Over September 14–28, 2026, three of six covered names rose, with a median move of +0.9% versus the S&P 500's +0.8%. The period's clearest development was Corporacion America Airports S.A.'s administrative decision approving its Argentine concession rebalancing, which coincided with a +9.1% single-day move and a +7.1% two-week close. No new transactions were signed, so the 24 trailing precedents at a 11.5x EV/EBITDA median remain the reference point against a 7.1x CY2027E listed median.
Key findings
- A grantor decision, not traffic, drove CAAP's +9.1% single-day move on Sep 28
- Airport peers diverged: CAAP +7.1%, PAC +6.2%, ASR -3.2% over two weeks
- No new M&A signed; 24 precedents still anchor at 11.5x EV/EBITDA median
- Cohort median +0.9% roughly tracked the S&P 500's +0.8% return

- 02THE BI-WEEKLY BOTTOM LINE
A Concession Reset in Argentina Set the Tone While the Cohort Split in Two Directions
This slide summarizes the two-week period in one page: a grantor decision in Argentina set the tone while the covered cohort split in two directions.
We start with the headline: three of six covered names rose, and the median move of +0.9% tracked closely with the S&P 500's +0.8%, so direction wasn't the story this period — dispersion inside the airport cohort was. The single largest move came from Corporacion America Airports S.A., which closed the two weeks up +7.1% and posted a +9.1% single-day gain on September 28, the date it announced an administrative decision approving the rebalancing of its Argentine concession agreement. Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico also outperformed at +6.2%, while Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste finished at -3.2%, so our standing read that these airport groups trade as one block was tested here. With no new transactions signed in the window, the 24 trailing precedents at a median of 11.5x EV/EBITDA remain the benchmark against a 7.1x CY2027E median for the six covered names — so what: grantor decisions, not traffic, are now the variable worth underwriting.

Direction was not the story; dispersion inside the airport cohort was. 2 A Grantor Decision, Not a Traffic Print, Produced the Period's Largest Single Day Corporacion America Airports S.A. (CAAP) ended the two-week period at +7.1%, with its strongest day of +9.1% on Sep 28 — the date it announced an administrative decision approving the rebalancing of its Argentine concession agreement. 3 The Airport Groups Did Not Trade as One Block over This Window Two Discount-tier names led: CAAP at +7.1% and Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, S.A.B. de C.V. (PAC) at +6.2%. Core-tier Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S. A. B. de C. V. (ASR) finished at -3.2%. Our standing read that these groups are priced as one block was tested here. 4 No New Transactions; The Precedent Record Stays the Reference Point With nothing new signed in the window, the 24 trailing precedents remain the benchmark at a median of 11.5x EV / EBITDA, against a 7.1x CY2027E median for the six covered names. +7.1% Best mover — CAAP worst: ASR -3.2% · 3 up / 3 down of 6 covered +0.9% Sector median two-week return vs S&P 500 +0.8%
- 03PUBLIC MARKET MOVERS
One Concession Decision Moved More than Two Weeks of Traffic Data
This slide ranks the bi-weekly close-to-close moves for the six covered names against the sector median, the S&P 500 and the materiality bar.
We show each covered name's two-week move against a sector median of +0.9%, an S&P 500 return of +0.8%, and a materiality bar of 5.2% (sector-relative). Corporacion America Airports S.A. cleared that bar decisively, closing at +7.1% on the back of its Argentine concession decision, while Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste moved against the grain at -3.2%. We link every move only to filings and headlines recorded in the window, and where no driver is recorded, we say so plainly. So what: the moves that cleared the materiality bar this period were concentrated in the airport sub-group, not spread across the covered set.

(CAAP) +7.1% Shares moved following the Sep 28 announcement that an administrative decision approving the rebalancing of CAAP's Argentine concession agreement had been issued, addressing increased capital investment requirements. Grantor action on committed capex and tariff mechanics still repriced a name faster than any month of traffic did. COMPANY-SPECIFIC Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, S.A.B. de C.V. (PAC) +6.2% No notable in-window news was identified that clearly explains the move. PAC's +6.2% sat above the +0.9% median for the covered set. Our read: inside the Discount tier, geography and currency mix separate otherwise comparable concession assets. UNEXPLAINED Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S. A. B. de C. V. (ASR) -3.2% No notable in-window news was identified that clearly explains the move. ASR's -3.2% was the weakest reading in the set against a +0.9% median. A Core-tier airport name can lag the cohort even in a window where the set's median move is positive. UNEXPLAINED
- 04MAJOR NEWS & INDUSTRY CATALYSTS
Two Company Announcements Carried the Period: A Concession Reset and a Traffic Print
This slide details the two highest-impact company announcements of the period: the Argentine concession rebalancing decision and a traffic print.
We highlight the two events that carried the period: Corporacion America Airports S.A.'s administrative decision approving the rebalancing of its Argentine concession agreement, and the window's traffic print, which showed a 0.9% year-on-year decline. Each event links back to its underlying filing or article, and our 'why it matters' framing is a NeuraCap read rather than an asserted cause. So what: with only one traffic data point in the window, the concession decision did the heavier lifting on where capital moved.

- 05M&A & STRATEGIC ACTIVITY
Buyers Stayed off the Record; The Precedent Median Still Sits Above the Listed Groups
This slide reviews the M&A backdrop: no new transactions signed in the window, with the trailing precedent record providing the reference multiple.
No new transactions were signed in this window, so we lean on the trailing record of 24 recorded precedent deals, which carries a median of 11.5x EV/LTM EBITDA. That median sits above the six covered names' 7.1x CY2027E multiple, a gap worth watching as a read on how private buyers value these assets versus the public market. Deal multiples shown are LTM at announcement where disclosed, and we do not re-present old transactions as news. So what: the precedent-to-public gap is the clearest read-through for acquirers pricing new opportunities in this space.

- 06WHAT IT MEANS
What This Period Changes for Owners, Acquirers and Advisors
This slide translates the period's evidence into observations for owners and operators, acquirers, and advisors.
For owners and operators, tariff mechanics and the commercial line carried the period, not passenger growth — the cohort's median move was +0.9%, while the window's one reported traffic figure showed a 0.9% year-on-year decline. For acquirers, the reference set is unchanged at an 11.5x EV/EBITDA precedent median against a 7.1x CY2027E listed median and a 5.6x Discount-tier median, so the Argentine decision adds a live capex data point worth underwriting into the grantor relationship itself. For advisors, the sharper story is dispersion: three of six names rose while the spread ran from Corporacion America Airports S.A. at +7.1% to Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste at -3.2%. So what: this is analytical interpretation of the recorded evidence, not a recommendation, but it points toward positioning by regime and duration rather than by cohort average.

The window's one reported traffic figure was a 0.9% year-on-year decline, so the operating levers on display were tariff and capex mechanics FOR ACQUIRERS The Reference Set Is Unchanged; The Argentine Decision Adds a Live Capex Data Point No new transactions were signed in the window, so the 24 trailing precedents at a median of 11.5x EV / EBITDA remain the anchor against a 7.1x CY2027E listed median and a 5.6x Discount-tier median. FOR ADVISORS Lead with Dispersion Inside the Airport Cohort, Not with the Cohort Average The period's best evidence is that three of six covered names rose while the cohort spread ran from CAAP at +7.1% to ASR at -3.2%.

SOURCES & METHODOLOGY Sources, Methodology and Important Notice How this bi-weekly update is built and what each kind of statement rests on · September 14–28, 2026 · market data through 2026-09-28 Every figure in this update links to the record it was taken from; the publishers and filings drawn on for the period are listed above. Transportation Infrastructure and Tolling Bi-Weekly Update | September 14–28, 2026 | Confidential | Not investment advice 7 OBSERVED DATA Bi-Weekly stock moves are computed close-to-close over the stated window from the platform’s price series. Deal records, values and multiples come from the platform’s transaction record (SEC 8-K extractions) exactly as recorded; each figure links to its citation. Treasury rates come from the platform’s Treasury series and are shown only when the 10-year moved at least ten basis points over the window (it did not in this window, so no rate figures appear). UNIVERSE QUALITY The update universe is the platform’s approved company set for this sector, subject to a $100M market-cap floor so small, loosely related names cannot dominate the statistics. No covered name fell below the floor in this window. EVENTS & NEWS Company events are in-window 8-K filings; news items are publisher-sourced headlines fetched for the window (and any externally supplied items, marked as such). Operational and strategic developments (deals, partnerships, launches, expansion, guidance, leadership, regulatory outcomes) are shown first; capital-return mechanics and conference appearances are limited to one each. Every event links to its source. The deck never asserts an event that has no linked record. SOURCE HIERARCHY News is admitted in a fixed order of reliability: SEC filings first, then company press releases and investor-relations communications, then transaction documents, then established outlets (Reuters, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s and peers). Video and social platforms — including YouTube — are never used as sources. DRIVER ATTRIBUTION A stock move is linked to an event only when the event falls inside the window, and only in calibrated language ("the move appears to reflect…", "shares moved following…"). Where no driver is recorded, the page says so and compares the move to the sector median instead. ANALYTICAL INTERPRETATION "Why it matters", "why the deal happened" and the what-it-means page are NeuraCap analytical views drawn from the recorded evidence, and are labeled as such. INHERITED CONTEXT The standing sector view (thesis, valuation lens, sector median and tiering) is inherited from the NeuraCap sector study run_20260929T090835Z_426_prod (market data as of 2026-09-28) — distilled, never re-derived. That report’s own sources page governs its content; this update reads the period against it. IMPORTANT NOTICE This report is informational only. It is not investment advice, not a recommendation to buy or sell any security, and not an offer of any kind. Readers should perform their own diligence before acting on anything described here.

Window and company universe
This update covers Transportation Infrastructure and Tolling over the 14-day window September 14–28, 2026; market data runs through September 28, 2026. The universe is the 6 listed companies whose core business is Transportation Infrastructure and Tolling under NeuraCap's industry classification, subject to a $100M market-capitalisation floor so that very small, loosely related names cannot dominate the movers and statistics. Companies covered: Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S. A. B. de C. V. (ASR), Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (BIP), Corporacion America Airports S.A. (CAAP), Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte, S.A.B. de C.V. (OMAB), Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, S.A.B. de C.V. (PAC), Sky Harbour Group Corp (SKYH). No covered name fell below the floor in this window.
How the moves and statistics are computed
Each company's period move is the change in closing price from the last close before the window to the last close inside it (close-to-close). The sector median is the median of those moves across the covered names; the index return is computed the same way for the S&P 500 over the same dates. The largest single-day move inside the window is shown for each mover. Movers are the largest gainers and losers by period move; the attribution cards prefer movers whose in-window record explains the move. Movers carry the valuation tier assigned in the standing sector study (the latest NeuraCap sector outlook) where that study rated them.
Events, news and how a move is attributed
Company events are the 8-K filings made inside the window; news items are publisher-sourced headlines for the window, admitted in a fixed order of reliability: SEC filings first, then company press releases and investor-relations communications, then established outlets (Reuters, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Barron's and peers). Video and social platforms are never used. A move is linked to an event only when the event falls inside the window and only in calibrated language; where nothing in the record explains a move, the update says so rather than speculating. Every event links to its source.
Transactions in the window and the trailing record
Transactions are taken from SEC filings by announcement date; 0 were announced inside the window. The trailing record of 24 recorded transactions provides the reference multiples (EV over last-twelve-month revenue or EBITDA at announcement, as disclosed). A value whose own citation describes something other than the price paid is not shown as the deal value; transactions where the acquirer and the target are the same entity are treated as reorganisations and excluded.
Sources
Prices and index levels are market data through September 28, 2026; filings are the companies' SEC filings on EDGAR; press releases are the companies' own; other news items are from the established outlets named on each card; Treasury yields are published by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Every figure and every event in the update links to its record.
Interpretation and important notice
'Why it matters', 'why the deal happened' and the what-it-means page are NeuraCap analytical views drawn from the recorded evidence, labelled as such. The update is informational: it is not investment advice, not a recommendation to buy or sell any security and not an offer of any kind.
