The Disconnect at Siemens Energy: Record Orders, a €3B Buyback, and a 24% Share Drop
10.06.2026 - 04:22:42 | boerse-global.de
Siemens Energy is in an awkward spot. Its order book has never been fatter, the company is pouring billions into buying back its own stock, and a solid majority of analysts rate the shares a buy. Yet the equity has lost nearly a quarter of its value from the April peak, and the selling has been steady enough to push the relative strength index deep into oversold territory at 33.1.
Management is not sitting idle. This week the group is meeting institutional investors in Copenhagen and Stockholm, part of a roadshow that comes at a telling moment. The message will have to address the glaring gap between operational strength and market sentiment. And if talk isn’t enough, the company has a €3 billion buyback programme to back it up.
Record numbers, sliding price
The financials could hardly be stronger. In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, Siemens Energy booked order intake of €17.7 billion — an all-time record — and pushed its order backlog to €154 billion. The book-to-bill ratio stood at 1.72, underlining how demand continues to outpace revenue. Comparable revenue rose 8.9% to €10.3 billion, while earnings before special items jumped from €906 million to €1.164 billion. Net profit landed at €835 million.
That performance gave management the confidence to raise full-year guidance in May: comparable revenue growth is now seen at 14% to 16%, up from a prior 11% to 13%, and the operating margin target was lifted to 10% to 12%. Net profit is expected to reach around €4 billion and free cash flow before tax roughly €8 billion.
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Siemens Energy?
The shares, however, tell a different story. At €148.30, they sit roughly 24% below their 52-week high of late April and have lost about 16% in the past 30 days alone. The main culprit appears to be profit-taking after a rally that nearly doubled the stock over twelve months. Market participants are asking whether the rally simply ran too far, too fast.
Grid Technologies leads the charge, buyback adds ballast
The standout division remains Grid Technologies. Siemens Energy recently upgraded its growth outlook for the segment to 25% to 27% comparable revenue expansion, up from 19% to 21%, and expects an operating margin of 18% to 20%. Gas Services is pencilling in 16% to 18% growth with a 14% to 16% margin, while Siemens Gamesa is targeting break-even on margin and 3% to 5% growth.
The buyback is the other pillar of management’s confidence signal. After completing the first tranche — nearly 12.6 million shares bought at an average price of €158.50 in just 77 trading days — Siemens Energy doubled down. It increased the full-year buyback ceiling from €2 billion to €3 billion and launched a second tranche of up to €1 billion, capped at 57 million shares and running until 30 September. The total programme through 2028 remains at €6 billion.
The financial firepower comes from solid cash generation: free cash flow before tax jumped 42% in the second quarter to almost €2 billion. Combined with the already paid dividend, total shareholder returns in 2026 are expected to reach €3.6 billion.
Analysts still bullish, but quiet period looms
Wall Street remains broadly optimistic. Of the 25 analysts covering the stock, 19 rate it a buy, four a hold and two a sell. The average price target of €195.08 implies roughly 32% upside from the current level. JPMorgan, which rates it overweight with a €225 target, points to structural demand from AI data centres and a backlog in energy equipment as long-term drivers.
Siemens Energy at a turning point? This analysis reveals what investors need to know now.
The next key catalyst comes on 5 August, when Siemens Energy reports third?quarter results. Before that, the company will participate in the J.P. Morgan European Industrials Conference on 17 June and the ODDO BHF London Forum on 18 June, followed by a pre?close call on 29 June. From 1 July, the quiet period begins, leaving the buyback as the only active management signal until the numbers are released.
The roadshow in Scandinavia this week is the first chance for the company to make its case face?to?face. The fundamental story is intact. The question is whether a market in profit?taking mode is ready to listen.
