Sources: 45. Developments: 23. By mid-August 2026, Siemens Energy significantly expanded its US manufacturing footprint with a total investment of $510 million. This includes the $300 million switchgear plant in Mississippi and a new $190 million manufacturing hub in Fort Worth, Texas, intended to supply electrical equipment for data centers. These expansions are projected to create over 1,500 jobs. Financially, the company completed its first share buyback program, repurchasing approximately 6.47 million shares for a total of roughly €1 billion between June and August. This capital return coincided with record operational performance in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, which saw an order intake of €17.9 billion and an adjusted profit of €1.62 billion. The Grid Technologies segment specifically saw its order backlog grow to €51 billion. In response to these results, the company raised its annual guidance, targeting a margin at the upper end of the 10% to 12% range. While the company continues to secure major infrastructure contracts—such as the North Sea Connector 2 converter system and UK grid modernization projects—analysts at Bernstein Research maintained an ‘Outperform’ rating, setting a price target of 210 euros. Additionally, the company secured a contract from SBM Offshore to supply power generation and gas compression systems for two Petrobras vessels, with deliveries expected between late 2027 and 2028. ## Claims - Siemens Energy's share price is about €150.70, roughly 23 % below its April high of €195.54.
