The Siemens Energy stock saw a strong increase of about 11.2 percent on Thursday afternoon, reaching a price of around 64.16 euros in XETRA trading. This makes it one of the top performers in the DAX and it is nearing a record high that was set in February at 64.56 euros.
Reasons for the Strong Price Surge
The notable increase is primarily attributed to the excellent quarterly results released by Siemens Energy the night before. In the second business quarter (up to the end of March 2025), adjusted earnings before special effects rose from 170 million euros to an impressive 906 million euros – analysts had only expected around 577 million euros. Revenue also increased by more than a fifth to nearly 10 billion euros. The order intake rose by more than half to approximately 14.43 billion euros.
The growth was significantly driven by strong business in the areas of gas turbines and grid technologies. The wind power subsidiary Siemens Gamesa also showed progress, but remains a challenge for the company.
Forecast Upgrade
Due to these strong figures, Siemens Energy has significantly raised its forecast for the full year: The company now expects revenue growth between 13 and 15 percent (previously eight to ten percent) and an adjusted profit margin before special effects of four to six percent instead of three to five percent previously. This more optimistic assessment is also supported by analysts; for example, Deutsche Bank raised its price target for the stock to 74 euros, estimating further upside potential.
Importance for Investors
The strong performance of the stock not only reflects positive company news but also signals confidence in the mid-term growth prospects of the company despite global challenges such as the US tariff conflict. Since the beginning of the year, the stock has already risen by almost 29 percent, making it one of the top performers in the DAX after last year’s outstanding gain of around +320 percent. Therefore, Siemens Energy remains an interesting investment option for investors with prospects of further growth.
In summary: The significant price increase of the Siemens Energy stock on Thursday results from an unexpectedly strong quarterly result that exceeded expectations and a raised annual forecast. This currently makes the stock one of the most attractive values in the German leading index.
