Frankfurt, Feb 8, 2026, 22:10 CET — The session has ended.
Siemens (SIEGn.DE) climbed 2.45% to finish at 250.50 euros on Friday. The stock’s move followed news that its Mobility division, together with a Stadler-led consortium, landed a contract worth around 3 billion euros to provide fully automated commuter trains for Copenhagen. “We’re not just delivering trains, but intelligent mobility solutions,” said Siemens Mobility CEO Michael Peter in the release.

Swissinfo reported that the deal involves 226 trainsets, each with four cars, plus an option to add as many as 100 more units. The package also bundles 30 years of service and maintenance, according to the companies. Deliveries are set to stretch out until 2040, with the first trains expected in service starting 2032.

This comes as Siemens gears up for a packed week with investors. The company’s latest train order arrives right before its first-quarter earnings and annual meeting in Munich. Siemens plans to release its Q1 figures at 0700 CET on Feb. 12, then hold a press call at 0730, and an analyst call at 0830. (Siemens Press)
Eyes are on the dividend decision, too. Siemens’ notice lists a proposed 5.35 euro-per-share payout, with Feb. 17 set as the payment date if shareholders give the nod. After the meeting, the stock moves to “ex-dividend” status—only those holding shares before then are eligible for the payment. (Siemens Assets)
The stock kicked off Friday at 245.70 euros and swung from as low as 243.95 up to 251.40 during the session. Roughly 1.0 million shares changed hands, Yahoo Finance data show. (finance.yahoo.com)
The action followed a stronger session in Europe. On Friday, the STOXX 600 edged higher as investors puzzled over the ripple effects of rapid artificial intelligence spending—who stands to gain, who gets left behind. German industrial numbers just added to the picture, showing how patchy the recovery still looks. “They are seeing a dislocation between software and hardware,” said Sophie Huynh, portfolio manager and strategist at BNP Paribas Asset Management.

Siemens is targeting comparable revenue growth in the range of 6% to 8% for fiscal 2026, with basic earnings per share before purchase price allocation accounting seen landing between 10.40 and 11.00 euros. That metric excludes certain acquisition-related items. (Siemens Press)
Siemens Mobility goes head-to-head with Alstom and others for major rail contracts—rolling stock, signalling—where long-term service deals and delivery risk frequently tip the balance. That Copenhagen contract underlines just how crucial alliances can be in chasing these massive tenders.
The risks are clear. This is just a framework agreement loaded with options, and most of the heavy lifting won’t happen for a while. Margins could get squeezed by cost increases or delays long before investors get their money.
Markets will be watching Siemens closely once trading reopens Monday. Eyes are on Feb. 12: earnings, conference calls, and especially any guidance Siemens offers on order intake, margins, and how things look before the dividend vote. (siemens.com)
