Should you buy Transurban shares today?
"Transurban operates toll roads across Australia and North America," said Evans, who has a buy rating on the ASX 200 stock.
Citing the first reason he's bullish on Transurban shares, he said, "It remains one of the few listed quality infrastructure assets available to Australian investors."
Then there's the company's strong September quarter results, released on 8 October, revealing growing revenue amid flat costs.
According to Evans:
Average daily traffic across the group increased by 2.7% in the September quarter, with an average of 2.6 million trips a day. Proportional toll revenue of $3.732 billion in fiscal year 2025 was up 5.6% on the prior corresponding period. Proportional operating costs of $947 million were flat.
As for the third reason you may want to snap up Transurban shares today, Evans said, "Some key projects are nearing completion, which is positive as they begin contributing to earnings and overall traffic volumes."
What's ahead for the ASX 200 stock?
Atop reporting its quarterly results, Transurban also held its annual general meeting (AGM) on 8 October.
Addressing the AGM, CEO Michelle Jablko noted that the ASX 200 stock is "firmly in the final stages" of the West Gate Tunnel Project in Melbourne.
Looking to what could impact Transurban shares in the year ahead, Jablko said:
We have over $10 billion of potential new project discussions in the pipeline. In Brisbane, the Logan West Upgrade is in progress. And with the Olympics fast approaching, we welcomed the Queensland Government's 2032 Delivery Plan, which includes upgrades on the Gateway Motorway.
On the back of strong performance in North America, we're also in the planning stages of our Bi-Directional Project on the 95 Express Lanes.
And we're part of a consortium exploring new projects in Atlanta and Nashville. Taking a partnership approach helps us enter new markets in a disciplined and lower risk way, where we can build our presence over time and support long-term value and distribution growth.
