Siemens: Weak outlook on HVDC, Railways
At its Q4FY24 earnings call, Siemens lowered expectations on several fronts: delays in large high-voltage direct current (HVDC) orders, as India's preference for line-commutated converter (LCC) technology contrasts with Siemens' global focus on voltage source converter (VSC) technology; sluggish momentum in railway orders for locomotives and trainsets, with a potential higher allocation to Indian Railways factories; and muted performance in the LV business (smart infrastructure, including discoms capex and private capex in digital infrastructure). Given the limited near-term catalysts in HVDC and railways, the company is revising down its FY25E/26E/27E EPS estimates by 9%, 15%, and 11%, respectively, factoring in slower HVDC order inflows and operating margins of 14%. Consequently, Siemens is downgraded to 'Hold', with a target price of ₹7,000, valuing the stock at 65x FY27E EPS of ₹106.
