Siemens Energy enters its quiet period at midnight on 1 July, but investors get one final chance to hear from management today at the Q3 pre-close call. The event arrives as the stock trades at €158.86, a near-3% gain on the day yet still 19% below the April high of €195.54. The tension is palpable: a record €154 billion order backlog and a sharply upgraded full-year outlook sit uncomfortably alongside a 6.6% weekly slide driven by profit-taking after a 62% twelve-month rally.
The buyback programme offers a visible floor. Since launching the current tranche on 4 June, Siemens Energy has repurchased just over 2 million shares at a weighted average price of €157.42, spending roughly €322 million in four weeks. The pace has been brisk — nearly 539,000 shares changed hands in the week of 22-26 June alone, executed across Xetra and three multilateral trading venues including CBOE DXE, Aquis Exchange Europe and Turquoise Europe. The programme, targeting up to €6 billion in buybacks by the end of fiscal 2028, allocates €1 billion to this second tranche, set to run through September 2026. Combined with the dividend already paid, total capital returns to shareholders could reach €3.6 billion in the current fiscal year.
That firepower is underpinned by an increasingly muscular cash flow. In May, management lifted its guidance, now forecasting comparable revenue growth of 14-16%, an adjusted margin of 10-12%, net income of roughly €4 billion, and free cash flow before taxes of about €8 billion. The second quarter already delivered a 29.5% jump in order intake to €17.7 billion, swelling the order book to €154 billion. The question for the pre-close call is whether the final three months of the quarter can sustain that momentum before the quiet period locks in on 1 July.
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Siemens Energy?
The stock’s recent retreat — down 6.6% over seven days, according to Monday’s data — reflects profit-taking rather than any erosion of operational strength. Year-to-date the shares still trade 29% higher, and the 52-week gain stands at 62%. Yet the current level of €158.86 sits well below the 50-day moving average of €168.40, a technical indicator that suggests the correction may have further to run if the pre-close call fails to reassure.
All eyes turn to 5 August, when Siemens Energy publishes its full third-quarter results. By then the quiet period will have muted any management commentary, making today’s pre-close call the last opportunity for nuance. The buyback has already signalled confidence, but the market will be watching closely to see whether the upgraded guidance — ambitious or conservative — can translate into a sustained share price recovery.
