UBS confirms “Buy” rating for Siemens
The Swiss bank UBS AG has once again rated Siemens shares with a “Buy” rating and set a price target of 240 euros. This assessment is based on a recent analysis of the company’s performance in the first quarter as well as discussions with management.
Analysis and justification of the Buy rating
- Stable growth: Analyst Supriya Subramanian emphasizes that the organic growth of European capital goods companies remained stable overall in the first quarter. Siemens is among the companies that stand out due to robust performance.
- Challenges: Despite the stability, further growth in the coming quarters is expected to remain challenging. Trends in individual end markets are mixed.
- Potential for investors: Siemens is seen as a company where investors can bet on a possible shift in demand as well as potentials for self-optimization in the second half of the year.
- Price target: The price target of 240 euros signals a positive development expectation compared to the current price level.
Relevance for investors
The Buy rating from UBS AG is particularly relevant for investors in the DAX environment:
- Confidence signal: It reflects confidence in the future performance of Siemens shares.
- Guidance: For institutional as well as private investors, the rating provides important guidance for investment decisions.
- Market capitalization & metrics: With a market capitalization of around 168 billion euros, a P/E ratio of about 17.23, and a dividend yield of nearly 2.9%, Siemens remains an attractive value in the German benchmark index.
Summary
With its Buy rating, UBS AG confirms its positive assessment of Siemens shares and sees further upside potential. The analysis underscores the stability of the company despite challenging market conditions and highlights its ability for self-optimization.
