𝐒𝐢𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐬 𝐋𝐮𝐟𝐭 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧 📉 The profit warning of the company's subsidiary Siemens Gamesa pulled both shares towards the "south" - What's next for wind power?
Siemens Energy subsidiary Siemens Gamesa had to revise its profit forecast downwards and now expects an operating return on sales of zero to minus one percent before integration and restructuring costs. 229 million will be written down on unprofitable projects such as the Siemens Gamesa 5.X platform in Brazil. Further, revenue is not increasing as much as hoped and Gamesa only expects third quarter revenue of 2.7 billion euros (Gamesa's fiscal year ends 9/30) and an operating loss of 150 million euros (source: Siemens Gamesa press release and Handelsblatt)
Siemens Energy now seems to be the leading party, as the parent company had to revise its own profit targets as a result. According to the Handelsblatt, which refers to industry circles, resentment against the subsidiary is growing in Munich.
Siemens Gamesa has complained primarily about increased raw material prices, as the cost of steel, one of the main materials for wind turbines, has already risen by more than 25 percent this year. This is now dragging down other wind turbine manufacturers such as Nordex, Goldwind and Vestas.
In the short term, we believe this could benefit solar manufacturers first. With a higher profit margin, they could now move into the focus of investors in renewable energy sector.

According to Handelsblatt, the industry association Wind Europe stated that over 450 gigawatts of new wind power capacity would be needed in the next ten years alone, which equates to around 30 gigawatts of new wind capacity per year. By comparison, the current rate of addition is only around 15 gigawatts per year. Offshore wind power is the main focus of this target, as it could provide a huge boost for struggling wind power manufacturers. Siemens Gamesa is the number one in the offshore market.
The confidence of many investors has already shown today, as 𝐛𝐞𝐢 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐢𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐠𝐞𝐤𝐚𝐮𝐟𝐭𝐞 𝐀𝐤𝐭𝐢𝐞 was (see onvista, flatex, comdirect).
𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗵 𝗦𝗶𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 stock is now battered after breaking support around €24. Starting from the last notable supports (Fibo levels) around €22, a quick recovery above €24 would be conceivable. Should this not succeed at the end of the week, however, a test of the prominent low at ~€18 is the preferred variant. At the latest, this offers a good opportunity from a CRV perspective to pick up the actually promising stock relatively cheaply.
