Schneider Electric (FR0000133308) stock closed at EUR 288.20 on September 1, 2026, down 2.17 percent on the day, while its market value was listed at USD 161.993 billion on the same snapshot. The French group also reported first-half 2026 revenue of EUR 21.23 billion, up from EUR 19.34 billion a year earlier.

Guidance moved up

Interfax reported on September 1, 2026 that Schneider Electric lifted its full-year 2026 outlook after the first half. The company now expects organic growth in adjusted EBITA of 14 to 19 percent, after a prior range of 10 to 15 percent, and organic revenue growth of 10 to 13 percent.

The same report said adjusted EBITA reached EUR 4.09 billion in the first half of 2026, compared with EUR 3.51 billion a year earlier, while the margin improved to 19.3 percent. Free cash flow rose to about EUR 1.6 billion, a jump that underlines how much cash generation has caught up with profit growth.

Data centers stay central

Revenue growth in the first half was 14 percent organically, and second-quarter sales reached a record EUR 11.5 billion, up 17 percent organically. Net profit attributable to shareholders climbed about 30 percent to EUR 2.49 billion, giving investors a second confirmation that the half-year beat was not only a margin story.

A Reuters analysis published on September 1, 2026 linked Schneider Electric to the wider data-center power and cooling boom, noting that the company had an order backlog of $8.5 billion at the end of June, up 23 percent from six months earlier. That backlog is the number most worth watching now.

Power and cooling demand

Schneider Electric remains tied to electrification, automation and data-center infrastructure, and the Reuters item places it inside the cluster of firms benefiting from that investment cycle. For investors, the backlog and the raised EBITA range matter more than the one-day price dip.

The Paris-listed stock traded at EUR 288.20 on September 1, 2026, versus a previous close of EUR 294.60, and the market-cap snapshot put the company at USD 161.993 billion.
