Schneider Electric raised its 2026 financial targets for the second time this year after reporting record third-quarter sales on October 16. The company now expects stronger organic revenue and adjusted EBITA growth as demand from data centers continues to support its order backlog.

Reuters, published by U.S. News, reported that Schneider lifted its organic adjusted EBITDA growth forecast to 18% to 21% from 14% to 19%. The organic revenue range rose to 12% to 14% from 10% to 13%.

Data centers support the outlook

Third-quarter revenue reached EUR 11.46 billion, up 16.9% organically and 17.9% on a reported basis from the year-earlier period. Schneider described the quarter as a record, while data-center demand grew at a triple-digit rate.

Energy Management revenue increased 18.8% organically to EUR 9.615 billion, and Industrial Automation revenue advanced 8.1% organically to EUR 1.845 billion. China and East Asia led regional growth with a 26.1% organic increase, while North America grew 19.9%, according to the latest company update carried by Reuters.
