Here is what brokerage firms said:
Motilal Oswal: Neutral| Target price: Rs 3,300
Motilal Oswal maintained its ‘neutral’ rating on the stock, with a target price of Rs 3,330.Siemens Ltd posted weaker profitability due to lower margins and reduced other income, despite strong execution in smart infrastructure and mobility. Weak margins in mobility dragged overall results, though order inflows rose 13% YoY to Rs 17,500 crore, including large railway orders.The company transferred Rs 2,400 crore in pending cash to Siemens Energy and received approval to change its financial year to Oct–Mar, making FY26 18 months. The outlook focuses on recovery in inflows and margin improvement, especially in mobility and digital industries.
Avendus: Reduce| Target price: Rs 2,879
Avendus has maintained its ‘Reduce’ rating on Siemens, with a slight increase in the target price to Rs 2,879 from Rs 2,859.
The brokerage said the demand outlook is primarily supported by public capex, while private capex remains muted. It noted that vertical-specific challenges are likely to cause margin contraction.
Siemens’ current order book stands at Rs 42,800 crore, with revenue expected to grow at a CAGR of around 8% over the next two years. However, rising competition and new supply in certain categories are anticipated to put pressure on EBIT margins. EBITDA margins are projected to contract by about 120 basis points to 12.8% by FY26E.
Antique: Buy| Target price: Rs 3,892
Antique Stock Broking has maintained its ‘Buy’ rating on Siemens, raising the target price to Rs 3,892 from Rs 3,179.
The brokerage said operational performance was in line and ordering momentum remains strong. While the growth outlook stays positive, it trimmed FY25/FY26/FY27 estimates by 8%, 6%, and 6%, respectively, due to lower-than-expected other income.
Valuations have been rolled over to FY27E earnings, with the exit multiple revised to 55x from 60x earlier. The target price revision reflects a healthy order pipeline and strong long-term growth visibility.
