Siemens Energy Cuts Final Cord to Siemens AG as Buyback and Board Reshuffle Signal Standalone Era
Published on 09/28/2026 at 10:01 | Editorial boerse-global.de
Siemens Energy's separation from its former parent has crossed a symbolic threshold. On Thursday, Siemens AG's stake in the Munich energy technology group slipped below the five percent mark, extinguishing the industrial conglomerate's contractual right to a fixed seat on Siemens Energy's supervisory board. The move writes the closing chapter on a decoupling that began with the 2020 spin-off, during which the former parent steadily whittled down its holding. The Siemens Pension-Trust e. V., legally independent, remains the largest single shareholder.
The news landed as the stock traded at EUR 141.42 in Monday's pre-market session, down 1.8 percent. Despite that softness, the shares have still added 17 percent since the start of the year.
Board Seat Changes Hands as Lundmark Steps In
The supervisory board itself is undergoing a handover. Matthias Rebellius will leave the panel early at his own request on September 30, 2026. The Munich district court has appointed Pekka Lundmark, the former Nokia chief executive, to fill the vacancy effective October 1, 2026. Shareholders will get their formal say on Lundmark's election at the next ordinary annual general meeting on February 25, 2027. The appointment folds international management experience into the oversight body at a moment when the operating business is in the thick of a structural overhaul.
EUR 2 Billion Buyback Tranche Gets Green Light
Underpinning the personnel changes is a substantial capital return program. The management board approved the third tranche of its buyback, under which up to EUR 2 billion worth of shares will be repurchased by March 31, 2027 at the latest. The maximum volume is capped at 50,000,000 no-par-value shares. Transactions will run through the Xetra electronic trading system as well as the CBOE DXE, Aquis Exchange Europe and Turquoise Europe venues. Siemens Energy named share-based compensation models, employee programs and a possible cancellation of the repurchased shares as the intended uses.

Portfolio Overhaul Runs in Parallel
Alongside the ownership shift, management is pressing ahead with reshaping the operating portfolio. The multi-billion-euro segment spans the steam turbine business and activities around hydrogen technology. The wind power unit, meanwhile, is reporting operational progress: the Borkum Riffgrund 3 offshore wind farm has been in full commercial operation since the end of August. The installation carries a total capacity of 913 megawatts and runs on 83 turbines from the SG 11.0-200 DD series supplied by Siemens Gamesa. The project ranks among the key steps in the ramp-up of large-scale offshore ventures.
Omterra Rebrand to Erase License Fees
The operational split is set to show up in the company's public face as well. Siemens Energy plans to switch its brand name to Omterra, to be rolled out in stages. That will eliminate the annual payments for use of the established brand starting at the end of 2026. In the 2024/25 financial year, those license fees to the former parent still totaled around EUR 300 million. Removing that cost burden is expected to support margin development over the medium term.
Analyst Backing Holds Despite Sector Jitters
Berenberg took a constructive view of the Munich group's fundamentals on Friday, shrugging off broader market swings. The analysts reaffirmed their "Buy" rating and left the price target at EUR 205. The stock came under pressure at the start of the week, shedding 2.2 percent to EUR 140.88 in Monday trading, though no company-specific negative news explained the pullback. Market watchers pointed instead to the sector backdrop: according to media reports, fresh uncertainty over the pace of global AI investment and the resulting electricity demand has made investors cautious on the energy sector.
Q4 Pre-Close Call on the Calendar
Attention now turns to the operating picture. On Wednesday, September 30, 2026, the company will host its pre-close call webcast for the fourth quarter of the 2026 financial year from 15:00 to 15:30 CEST. Investors are looking to the event for detailed insight into the past months' business performance and signals for the coming financial year.
