Berenberg Ups Estimates, Price Target for Siemens Energy on Electricity Demand Boost

By

Berenberg raised its estimates and price target for Siemens Energy (ENR.F), noting the revamp of ageing grid infrastructure and the broader push for electrification as key drivers for the German energy technology company.

"We increase our estimates slightly for organic revenue growth within the Grid Technologies segment. We now forecast revenue of EUR14bn, EUR16.9bn and EUR20bn for 2026, 2027 and 2028 respectively. This moves our estimates a low-single-digit percentage above consensus for these years," analysts said in a Monday note focused on the electrical sector. "We also forecast above-guidance profit margins of c20-21% for the 2026-28 period. This is driven, in our view, by the expected strength in orders translating through to greater top-line volumes and from pricing benefits supporting profit margins. We make minor changes to our estimates across the rest of the business."

As such, Berenberg's sales, EPS and EBITA estimates for the group were increased over 2026 to 2028.

The price target increased to 205 euros from 200 euros, with an unchanged buy rating.

UK Regulator Finds No Evidence of Fuel Price Manipulation But Flags Weak Competition

Britain's Competition and Markets Authority has found no evidence that retailers alerted fuel pricing strategies to exploit the Middle East crisis, but warned that lower competition in the sector continues to leave drivers paying more, Reuters reported Monday.The CMA said elevated wholesale prices linked to the US-Israel war in Iran, which began in February, explain most of the rise in pump prices through March and into April. The regulator said it would closely monitor whether any improvement in supply conditions is passed on to consumers."While our analysis shows the rise in wholesale prices is the main reason for higher fuel prices, we remain concerned about weak competition in the sector leaving drivers paying more," CMA chief Sarah Cardell said.

EU May Keep Russian Oil Price Cap Unchanged to Pressure Moscow

The European Commission may propose keeping the G7 price cap on Russian crude oil unchanged at about $44 per barrel during its July review, as it seeks to limit Moscow's oil revenues despite a recent surge in global energy prices, Reuters reported Monday, citing EU diplomats.The proposal is being discussed as part of the European Union's forthcoming 21st sanctions package against Russia over its war in Ukraine.Western governments introduced the cap in late 2022 to reduce Russia's energy income while avoiding disruptions to global oil markets.Under the system, countries can purchase Russian oil using Western shipping and insurance services only if the crude is sold below the price cap.Reuters reported that the Commission is also considering a proposal to prevent any future price review from raising the cap above $60 per barrel, even if global oil prices remain elevated.
