Three milestones since September

On October 5, 2026, the company said it would acquire PTC for USD 205.00 per share, valuing the equity at about USD 22.60 billion, the same report said. The October 16, 2026 update was the latest milestone, with third-quarter revenue at EUR 11.46 billion.

What lifted the targets?

Data-center demand more than doubled in the third quarter and helped make revenue a record for any quarter, Morningstar reported on October 16, 2026. The company-provided consensus had expected EUR 11.13 billion, so the reported figure exceeded that comparison by EUR 0.33 billion. Organic revenue growth was 16.9%, compared with the 13.8% consensus estimate cited by Investing.com.

Revenue beat expectations

Energy Management generated EUR 9.62 billion in third-quarter revenue and grew 18.8% organically, while Industrial Automation produced EUR 1.85 billion and grew 8.1% organically, according to Investing.com. The regional picture was uneven: China and East Asia grew 26.1%, while North America, which represents 40% of revenue, grew 19.9%. Management said pricing was offsetting raw-material inflation and tariffs, but currency effects were expected to reduce 2026 revenue by EUR 300 million to EUR 400 million.

Stock trades below Xetra close
