Siemens Energy's 24% Drop Belies a Record Quarter as Investors Await the August 5 Verdict

Despite record order intake and raised FY guidance, Siemens Energy shares have fallen 24% from April high. Roadshow aims to convince Nordic investors sell-off is overdone. Analysts largely bullish, but Gamesa remains a drag.

The roadshow that Siemens Energy kicked off in Copenhagen on Wednesday arrives at an awkward moment for the stock. The shares have retreated 24% from their April high, even as the company reports its strongest-ever order intake and raises full-year guidance. With institutional investors in the Nordic capitals demanding explanations, the central question is whether the sell-off has overshot the fundamentals.

Those fundamentals are hard to ignore. In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, order intake surged 29.5% year-on-year to €17.7 billion, beating market expectations of €15.6 billion. Gas Services contributed €8.9 billion and Grid Technologies nearly €7.0 billion, the latter riding a wave of demand from data centres and grid expansion. Revenue climbed 8.9% to €10.3 billion, while adjusted EBIT reached €1.164 billion for an 11.3% margin. The total order backlog now stands at €154 billion. On the back of these figures, Siemens Energy raised its 2026 outlook on May 12, forecasting comparable revenue growth of 14-16%, an EBIT margin of 10-12%, net profit of roughly €4 billion and free cash flow before taxes of around €8 billion.

Yet the market has not rewarded the momentum. After touching a 52-week high of €195.54 on April 24, the stock closed at €148.66, representing a 15.87% decline over the past 30 days and a 24% pullback from the peak. The relative strength index has fallen to 32.6, brushing the threshold of oversold conditions. Technically, the shares have slipped below the 50-day moving average of €168.54, and traders are now watching the support corridor between €136.62 and €140.82, where the 200-day average sits at €136.12. A break below that area would threaten the long-term uptrend, but holding it could set the stage for a reversal.

Siemens Energy is using its roadshow to make that case. Following a stop in Munich on Tuesday, the investor-relations team is in Copenhagen today and heads to Stockholm tomorrow. CFO Maria Ferraro will also present at the J.P. Morgan European Industrials Conference in London on June 17. The core message: the operational story has only strengthened, and the recent correction reflects short-term technical factors rather than a deterioration in the business.

Analysts broadly agree with that narrative. Deutsche Bank and Berenberg both rate the stock a buy with a price target of €200, while JPMorgan is even more bullish with an overweight rating and a €225 target, dismissing fears over capacity additions in gas-fired power—a segment that accounts for just 15% of group revenue—as overblown. Barclays remains the outlier with a neutral stance. The bull case is reinforced by the company’s €6 billion share buyback programme running through 2028, with an initial €1 billion tranche expected to be completed by September 2026.

Still, the sell-off has a credible counter-argument in Gamesa. Siemens Energy’s wind-power subsidiary reported negative free cash flow of €654 million last quarter, a persistent drag that clouds the group’s overall cash generation and gives sceptics grounds to question the lofty price targets.

The next major catalyst is the detailed quarterly report due on August 5, 2026. By then, investors will have seen whether the order momentum can be sustained and whether Gamesa’s cash burn has begun to improve. Until that day, the stock’s fate may hinge on whether the support near €136 holds and whether the roadshow can convince institutions that the steep sell-off is an entry point rather than a warning.
