Stablecoins are here to stay says BlackRock
On Wednesday, Citi analyst Vivek Midha increased the price target for Siemens Energy AG (ETR:ENR1n) (ENR:GR) (OTC: SMEGF) to €58.00, up from €54.00, while maintaining a Neutral rating on the stock. Midha’s revised outlook is based on an updated model for the company, which now anticipates higher profit estimates for fiscal years 2025, 2026, and 2027 before special items (SI), with projected increases of 23%, 7%, and 7%, respectively.
The adjustment in the price target reflects a more optimistic view of Siemens (ETR:SIEGn) Energy’s Grid margins, which are expected to surpass the management’s fiscal year 2028 targets, reaching an estimated 16% in 2028. Additionally, Citi forecasts a pre-tax free cash flow (FCF) of €2.1 billion for fiscal year 2025.
Despite the increase in the price target, the market’s reaction was described as "somewhat muted," suggesting that investors are still processing the implications of DeepSeaE. Midha highlighted that while the fundamentals in the Gas and Grid sectors remain robust, artificial intelligence (AI) is seen as a potential driver for additional upside, rather than a fundamental component of the company’s targets.
Following a sell-off on Monday, Siemens Energy’s stock price has returned to levels seen around the time of former President Trump’s inauguration. The stock is currently considered a consensus long by the market. Midha indicated that any further weakness in the stock price could provide opportunities to adopt a more positive stance, but for now, further clarity is awaited before changing the current rating.
