Siemens and Microsoft Partner to Revolutionize Building Technology
In a groundbreaking move, Siemens and Microsoft have announced a strategic partnership that will interlink their platforms, Building X and Azure IoT Operations. This collaboration aims to analyze data from lighting, climate, and safety technology in almost real-time. According to Siemens, this new solution will reduce the integration effort for building operators by up to 80 percent, significantly enhancing efficiency and safety.
Impact on Siemens’ Share Value
The impact of this partnership on Siemens’ share value is expected to be substantial. The Smart Infrastructure division is expanding its margin-strong software business and securing recurring service revenues. This aligns with Siemens’ medium-term goal of achieving an operational margin between 16 and 20 percent. Currently, the share price has been holding steady at around 15 percent.
Job Growth and Capacity Expansion
Siemens has also announced plans to create around 500 new jobs in the Munich-Allach Lokfabrik by 2028. This expansion will grow the workforce to approximately 2,500 employees. The company is investing a medium three-digit million amount to significantly expand the production area, with a focus on the popular “Vectron” locomotives. This move signals high demand for energy-efficient locomotives that are already approved in more than 20 European countries, ensuring stable margins.
Analyst Confidence and Industrial Alliance
The major Swiss bank UBS recently confirmed its purchase recommendation for Siemens’ shares, predicting a two-digit potential with a price target of 240 euros. This confidence is driven by robust order inputs and a consistent focus on digitization. Siemens is also one of the initiators of the planned “Made for Germany” business campaign, which aims to mobilize up to 300 billion euros in investments. Participation in this initiative underlines Siemens’ role as a leading group and could further strengthen the trust of institutional investors in the company and its shares.
