Schneider Electric has again raised its full-year outlook due to strong demand from data centers. Revenue in the third quarter rose organically by about 17–18% to €11.5 billion, driven by data centers, whose revenues more than doubled. For 2026 the company now targets organic revenue growth of 12–14% (previously 10–13%) and adjusted EBITA growth of 18–21% (previously 14–19%). Strong growth came mainly from China and North America, but the conflict in the Middle East could weigh on the final quarter. » Mais em wiwo.de

Deutsche Bank Research keeps Schneider Electric at 'Buy' with a €325 price target. The planned acquisition of US software provider PTC is a surprising drag on organic growth and raises questions about the strategic use of billions for an industrial software business that seems less attractive than the core electrification-hardware business. The move also comes at a time of growing concern that artificial intelligence could cause disruption in the software sector, while the bank says the negative market reaction appears exaggerated. » Mais em finanzen.net
