Siemens Energy Secures Key Grid Components Until 2032 as Analyst Targets Jump

Siemens Energy locks in critical supply chain with ASTA until 2032, receives Jefferies target hike to €215, reports strong order backlog of €154B, and stock gains 1.89%.

Siemens Energy has locked in a critical link in its supply chain just as the investment community sharpens its pencil on the stock. The company extended a long-term contract with the ASTA Group until the end of 2032, ensuring a steady flow of drilled conductors and specialised copper components for its European transformer plants. The deal, announced on 19 May at the CWIEME trade fair in Berlin, underscores how vital stable supplier relationships have become in the booming grid-equipment market.

The news landed alongside a fresh target upgrade from Jefferies, which raised its price objective to €215 from €164 and maintained a “Buy” rating. Analyst Lucas Ferhani cited the strong operational momentum, particularly in the grid business and gas turbine demand. Other houses are equally bullish: JPMorgan has a €225 target, Goldman Sachs sees fair value at €212, and the consensus sits at €186.30. The stock responded by climbing 1.89% on Wednesday to €171.46 in Frankfurt.

That level still leaves the shares 8.8% below the 52-week high of €188.00 touched on 24 April. The pullback from that peak has been orderly — the stock remains 4.48% above its 50-day moving average of €164.09 — but profit-taking has trimmed the year-to-date gain to 39.63%. Over twelve months the advance stands at 118.53%. The relative strength index of 60.7 suggests no extreme overheating, though the annualised 30-day volatility of 45% leaves room for further swings.

Fundamentally, the trajectory remains intact. In the fiscal second quarter ended 31 March 2026, Siemens Energy posted revenue of €10.29 billion and earnings per share of €0.89, up from €0.50 a year earlier. Free cash flow improved 42%, and management lifted the full-year free cash flow target to roughly €8 billion. Perhaps the most telling metric is the order intake: €17.75 billion in the quarter alone, pushing the order backlog to approximately €154 billion. That gives the group exceptional revenue visibility and underpins the grid-driven growth story.

The wind-turbine division Siemens Gamesa, long a drag, is also stabilising. Losses shrank to just €40 million in the latest period, taking pressure off the overall investment narrative. That, combined with the grid boom, has allowed the company to announce a share buyback programme of up to €6 billion, running until fiscal 2028.

The partnership with ASTA is not a new one — Siemens Energy took a cornerstone stake in the supplier’s IPO in January 2026 — but the early renewal of the long-term agreement highlights how planners are racing to secure capacity ahead of a multi-year investment cycle in power grids. The next major milestone will come on 5 August, when the company reports third-quarter results. Until then, the market will be weighing whether the order momentum can sustain a valuation that gives Siemens Energy a market capitalisation of around €146 billion, cementing its place among the DAX heavyweights.
