A Macquarie Asset Management-led consortium will acquire Qube Holdings Ltd. for A$11.7 billion ($8.3 billion), expanding its infrastructure portfolio with a major Australian ports and rail operator. The deal values Qube shares at A$5.20 each—a 28% premium over its November 2025 closing price before Macquarie’s initial approach. Pontegadea, the family office of Zara founder Amancio Ortega, joins Macquarie in the consortium, diversifying the bidder group’s investment base. The acquisition targets Qube’s logistics network, including warehouses, rail, and port operations, bolstering Macquarie’s infrastructure assets in Australia. The transaction, announced in February 2026, reflects growing investor interest in supply chain and transport infrastructure amid global trade expansion.
