Introduction about the company
Siemens AG, founded in 1847 by Werner von Siemens, grew from a Berlin telecommunications company into Europe's largest industrial technology company. With headquarters in Munich and Berlin, the company serves sectors such as automation, power engineering, rail infrastructure and medical technology worldwide. Through divisions such as Digital Industries, Smart Infrastructure and Mobility, Siemens works on sustainable, digital and future-proof solutions for industries and cities.
Key figures & performance
In 2024, Siemens AG achieved sales of €77.9 billion and realized a net profit of €9 billion, demonstrating a strong financial position. The market capitalization in July 2025 was approximately €179 billion, making Siemens one of the largest components of the DAX-40
History & development
Siemens was founded in 1847 by Werner von Siemens as a small workshop for telegraph technology in Berlin. Soon the company grew to become a pioneer in electrical engineering, with contributions to railroad installations, power supply and industrial automation throughout Europe. In 1966, several business units merged to form Siemens AG, beginning a new phase of integrated growth. Since then, Siemens has developed into a global technology conglomerate active in virtually all core industrial sectors.
To sharpen its focus and adapt to changing markets, Siemens carried out several strategic divestitures beginning in the 2000s. These included the divestment of chip division Infineon in 1999, the IPO of Siemens Healthineers in 2017, and the spin-off of Siemens Energy as an independent energy company in 2020. These moves reflected a clear strategy: to focus on digitalization, automation and infrastructure. In July 2025, Siemens acquired British software company Dotmatics, active in data analytics for the life sciences sector, for $5.1 billion. With this, Siemens strengthened its position at the intersection of industrial automation and digital laboratory solutions, a growth area where technology and science are coming ever closer together.
Sector & competition
Siemens operates in four main sectors: industrial automation, smart infrastructure, mobility and financial services. Within these areas, the company develops and delivers technology solutions ranging from factory automation and energy networks to building management, public transportation and digital applications for industry.
In each of these sectors, Siemens faces strong international competitors including ABB, Schneider Electric, General Electric and Bosch. The main focus of competition is the development of innovative technologies that contribute to energy efficiency, lower carbon emissions and smart control of systems.
What sets Siemens apart is its combination of global scale, long-term customer relationships and an integrated offering of both hardware and digital solutions. By investing in artificial intelligence, cloud technology and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), the company manages to constantly adapt and remain a leader in a market that is rapidly evolving.
Siemens' influence on the DAX 40
With a market capitalization representing about 9.98% (measured in December 2024) of the total DAX weight, Siemens is one of the heavyweights within the index. Movements in the Siemens share price therefore have a clear impact on the DAX's returns, especially due to its sensitivity to global industrial investments and technological trends.

Investment analysis & outlook
Siemens shares recorded an impressive share price increase of over 40% over the past 12 months, supported by strong performance in digitalization, infrastructure and mobility solutions. In Q2 2025, revenue rose 7% to €19.76 billion, while industrial profit rose 29% to €3.24 billion, well above analyst forecasts. New order inflows increased 10%, especially in the Smart Infrastructure and Mobility divisions. Despite geopolitical and economic uncertainties, the board confirmed its revenue growth forecast for all of 2025 of 3% to 7%, further strengthening investor confidence.
The price chart below shows how Siemens has made a strong recovery since 2020, with a clear outperformance against the DAX 40 index. Whereas the DAX rose by about 79%, Siemens realized a total return of almost 96%. The rise has not only been more broad-based but also more consistent than many sector peers, with only brief interruptions during macroeconomic shocks. The recent peak in March 2025 around €244.85 even marks the highest price level ever for the stock.
While the valuation remains relatively high, it is supported by solid cash flows, structural earnings growth and a clear positioning in emerging technologies such as AI-driven data centers. Siemens plays a key role in this as a supplier of essential infrastructure components. For investors with a long-term horizon and interest in industrial innovation, Siemens shares remain a robust and attractive choice within the DAX 40.
News & updates
In May 2025, Siemens confirmed its revenue growth targets, supported by strong quarterly results and a notable increase in earnings within its Smart Infrastructure division. In addition, the company posted a one-time gain of €315 million from the sale of its wire accessories business to industry peer ABB. This divestment is part of Siemens' broader strategy to focus on core, high-value-added businesses.
Expressing confidence in its financial health and continued strong cash flows, Siemens proposed to increase its dividend over 2025 to €5.20 per share. This underlines the solid profit development and commitment to consistent shareholder value.
