EU and US could reach trade deal this weekend - Reuters
On Wednesday, BofA Securities adjusted its price target on Siemens Ltd . (NSE:SIEM:IN), increasing it to INR2,550.00 from the previous INR2,450.00. Despite the hike in the price target, the firm maintained its Underperform rating on the stock. BofA Securities analyst Amish Shah cited ongoing challenges in the private capital expenditure (capex) landscape, with persistent softness in end-demand across various sectors, including food and beverage (F&B), automotive, and metals.
The analyst noted that Siemens Ltd.’s management anticipates near-term growth to be fueled primarily by public capex, especially in power transmission and distribution (T&D), railways, and emerging verticals such as electronics, semiconductors, batteries, and data centers. Looking further ahead, the management of Siemens Ltd. expects a revival in private capex over the medium term.
BofA Securities has projected that Siemens Ltd. will secure orders worth Rs422 billion over the fiscal years 2025 to 2027, which is lower than the Rs474 billion order volume forecasted by other analysts on the street, excluding the mobility segment. Additionally, the analyst expects a 40 basis point expansion in margins for the smart infrastructure segment in fiscal year 2025 due to the margin-accretive order book. However, there is an anticipation that margins will normalize from fiscal year 2026 onward, reflecting a more modest demand environment.
