Siemens Energy delivered third-quarter results that topped analyst forecasts, reporting higher net income, revenue and record order intake as market demand for gas turbines and grid components intensified.
Net profit for the quarter ended June 30 rose to €1.19 billion, up from €697 million a year earlier. That result exceeded the S&P Global Visible Alpha consensus of €983 million by roughly 21%.
Revenue climbed 17.5% year over year to €11.45 billion, outpacing the analyst consensus of €11.24 billion. The company attributed the topline strength to an across-the-board improvement in its businesses.
Siemens Energy said its Gas Services division continued to be buoyed by strong demand for large gas turbines. The company pointed to particularly robust activity in the United States, where hyperscale AI data centres are expanding quickly, and to renewed investment by governments in the Middle East in generation and transmission projects.
The Grid Technologies business also recorded heightened demand, with utilities globally investing to modernise electricity networks to handle rising consumption and increased renewable capacity. Those trends supported both sales and order momentum across the group.
Order intake reached a record €17.93 billion for the quarter, pushing the company's order backlog to a record €162 billion. Management said demand was especially strong in the United States.
A notable development in the quarter was Siemens Gamesa returning to quarterly profitability for the first time since 2022. The wind turbine unit reported a profit of €56 million, reversing a prior-year loss of €425 million, a turnaround the company linked to productivity improvements and better cost efficiency.
Following the results, Siemens Energy confirmed the fiscal 2026 guidance it had raised after the first half of the fiscal year. The company said it now expects its profit margin before special items to arrive toward the upper end of the previously guided 10% to 12% range.
Siemens Energy continues to forecast comparable revenue growth of 14% to 16% for fiscal 2026, net income around €4 billion, and free cash flow before tax of about €8 billion for the year.
Implications for markets and sectors
- Demand patterns for gas turbines and transmission equipment are shaping order books and revenue for energy technology suppliers.
- Investment flows into hyperscale AI data centres and public power infrastructure are supporting equipment makers and grid technology providers.
- Wind turbine manufacturing can materially affect consolidated results when operations return to profitability after cost and productivity measures.
