Reuters reported on October 16, 2026 that Schneider Electric had raised its 2026 organic revenue and adjusted EBITA targets for the second time.

Record revenue lifts guidance

The company reported Q3 2026 revenue of EUR 11.46 billion, up 16.90 percent organically and 17.90 percent on a reported basis. The figure exceeded the EUR 11.13 billion company-provided consensus cited by Reuters.

The updated 2026 outlook calls for organic revenue growth of 12.00 to 14.00 percent and adjusted EBITA growth of 18.00 to 21.00 percent. Adjusted EBITA margin expansion is expected at 100 to 120 basis points, according to the October 16 release carried by Les Echos.

What supports the higher target

Energy Management generated EUR 9.62 billion in Q3 2026 revenue, up 18.80 percent organically, while Industrial Automation reached EUR 1.85 billion, up 8.10 percent. Data center demand grew at a triple-digit rate, making the division a central explanation for the stronger outlook.

Three transactions shaped 2026

On September 24, 2026, Schneider Electric agreed to acquire Shelly in a transaction valued at EUR 1.20 billion. On October 5, 2026, it signed the PTC acquisition agreement, valuing PTC equity at USD 22.60 billion and promising EUR 250.00 million in annual cost synergies. On October 16, 2026, the company reported Q3 revenue of EUR 11.46 billion and upgraded its full-year targets, as detailed by Les Echos.

Dates for the next results

Schneider Electric scheduled its 2026 full-year results for February 18, 2027, while the next dividend ex-date is May 10, 2027, according to the October 16 release.

Valuation remains demanding

Barclays analyst George Featherstone maintained a Buy rating and set a EUR 326.00 price target on October 19, 2026, according to Markets Insider. That target is 31.84 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price, leaving the market focused on whether data center demand can sustain the upgraded growth path.

Stock stays below its prior close

The current quote places Schneider Electric 2.22 percent below the Xetra close of October 19, 2026, despite the stronger operating outlook. The contrast between record revenue and the daily decline keeps execution and valuation at the center of the investment case.
