Siemens Energy has reported a spectacular 65% surge in third-quarter orders to €16.6 billion, pushing its backlog to a record €136 billion. The energy technology giant’s wind power subsidiary, previously plagued by quality issues, is rebounding with two multi-billion-euro offshore projects in the Baltic Sea, while its troubled onshore business shows signs of recovery. The gas power segment emerged as a profit driver, with U.S. orders alone contributing €3 billion—half of the division’s new business. Despite U.S. tariffs denting profits by €100 million, adjusted earnings skyrocketed from €49 million to €497 million, with revenue climbing to €9.75 billion. Management reaffirmed its upbeat annual forecast, targeting 13–15% sales growth and a 4–6% adjusted margin.
Index Inclusion Prospects Amid Market Volatility
Analysts predict Siemens Energy could join the Euro Stoxx 50 in September, alongside another major European bank, as four current index members face removal. However, shares dipped 1.45% despite the optimism, reflecting mixed investor sentiment. The company’s focus on strategic metals and green energy aligns with surging global demand, particularly for lithium, expected to grow twentyfold by 2050. With its turnaround gaining momentum and a robust order book, Siemens Energy stands poised to capitalize on the energy transition—even as short-term market reactions remain unpredictable.
