Getlink (FR0010533075) operates key transport infrastructure between France and the United Kingdom through the Channel Tunnel and related rail and freight activities. The stock provides exposure to cross-Channel passenger and freight demand alongside European transport peers such as Deutsche Bahn’s listed subsidiaries and Eurostar’s bond market presence.

Long-term traffic and revenue profile

In 2025, Getlink reported revenue of 1.99 billion euros, up 17 percent year-on-year, supported by growth in Eurotunnel shuttle traffic and Europorte rail freight volumes. The group’s EBITDA reached 1.06 billion euros, implying a margin of around 53 percent and reflecting the high fixed-cost infrastructure model.

Management targets continued growth from passenger shuttles and the Eurostar high-speed rail link as tourism and business travel remain solid between the UK and continental Europe. In addition, the ElecLink interconnector that runs through the tunnel offers an extra revenue stream from cross-border electricity transmission between the British and French grids.

Sector commentary from European market desks highlights the relatively stable cash flows of regulated or concession-based operators despite cyclical freight swings.
