Nvidia and TSMC to unveil first domestic wafer for Blackwell chips, Axios reports
Investing.com -- Bank of America analysts reiterated their Buy rating on Siemens Energy AG, raising the price target to €150 from €110 and adding the stock to the firm’s Europe 1 list of top ideas in a note Thursday.
“We see three key drivers of near-term share price outperformance: (1) higher mid-term targets in Nov; (2) clearer capital allocation by (re)starting divi/buyback; and (3) progress towards ending Wind cash burn,” BofA wrote.
BofA argued that “the Street substantially underestimates sales & profit growth.”
The bank now forecasts a 35% adjusted EBITA compound annual growth rate between fiscal years 2025 and 2030, with updated FY28/30 estimates running 14% and 34% ahead of consensus.
Analysts expect strong electricity demand growth, including from data centres, and greater focus on energy independence to drive Gas & Grid revenues. They see organic sales CAGRs of 13% and 15% in FY25–30, versus consensus at just 8% and 11%.
The analysts also said margin expectations were too conservative, modelling a 14.7% and 17.2% adjusted EBITA margin by FY28 and FY30, compared with consensus at 13.2% and 14.1%.
BofA acknowledged Siemens Energy trades at a roughly 50% discount to peer GE Vernova, partly due to capital allocation issues and wind losses, but said progress toward free cash flow breakeven in Wind by FY27 should remove its negative valuation impact.
“Seen another way, we estimate Siemens Energy offers an attractive c. 7/9% FY28/30E FCF yield,” the analysts wrote.
BofA also expects prolonged tightness in the global gas turbine market, supporting pricing and margins into the 2030s.
