The company had opened a Swiss test track for 21 narrow-gauge hydrogen trains on October 17, 2026, while a valuation published on October 10, 2026 put fair value at CHF 30.86.

Hydrogen testing reaches 21 trains
According to Swissinfo on October 17, 2026, Stadler built a dedicated track between Hemishofen and Ramsen in Switzerland. The nearly 4-kilometer facility uses a third rail inside an existing standard-gauge track and is designed to test trains for Sardinia, Calabria, and Sicily.
Railway Gazette International reported on October 19, 2026, that testing will run over three years. The first vehicle is a hydrogen multiple unit ordered by Sardinia's ARST, with acceleration, braking, and propulsion checks forming part of the program.
What does the valuation imply?
Yahoo Finance published a fair-value assessment of CHF 30.86 on October 10, 2026, against a last close of CHF 30.40 in that analysis. The report also cited an order backlog of CHF 29.4 billion and identified capacity spending and contract timing as risks to cash flow and earnings.
Three milestones frame execution
On September 29, 2026, Stadler named Philipp Brunner as its future Group CEO, effective January 1, 2027, according to Boerse Global. On October 2, 2026, the company delivered the last of 60 double-deck trains to Swiss Federal Railways, and on October 10, 2026, Saudi Arabia Railways ordered 10 additional intercity trains worth more than CHF 300 million.
Dates for the next report
The next company event identified in the investor calendar is the fiscal year 2026 report on March 17, 2027, according to Simply Wall St. The leadership handover follows on January 1, 2027. Stadler's investor-relations page lists the SIX Swiss Exchange, ticker SRAIL, and the half-year 2026 report dated August 26, 2026.
Stock stays tied to execution
Stadler's new test infrastructure shortens the distance between factory validation and deployment in Italy, while the 21-train program gives the hydrogen strategy a measurable operating task. The backlog and recent deliveries support visibility, but the valuation discussion keeps margins, capacity spending, and contract execution central.
