Siemens Q2 net profit rises 4%, revenue up 17%
The Story in Brief
Siemens Ltd posted a 3.9% to 4.78% increase in consolidated net profit to Rs 504 crore for the July-September 2026 quarter, compared with Rs 485 crore or Rs 481 crore in 2025. Revenue from operations rose 17% to Rs 5,734 crore from Rs 4,900 crore.
New orders jumped 37.8% year-on-year to Rs 6,228 crore, and order backlog grew 12% to Rs 47,034 crore. However, EBITDA margin contracted to 10.9% from 12.4% last year (in 2025).
Managing Director Sunil Mathur said strong growth in orders and revenue was driven by continued capex spending in infrastructure and a rise in private sector capex, while profitability was impacted by commodity price and forex volatility.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both cnbctv18.com and The Economic Times report nearly identical figures for Siemens' Q2 results: net profit up about 4 to 5% to Rs 504 crore, revenue up 17% to Rs 5,734 crore, and new orders up 38% to Rs 6,228 crore. CnbcTV18 leads with the headline 'Net profit up 4%, revenue surges 17%' and provides more granular metrics such as EBITDA and margin contraction, while The Economic Times leads with 'Profit grows 5% to Rs 504 crore' and uses the PAT figure of Rs 481 crore for the year-ago quarter. Both attribute the MD's statement linking growth to infrastructure and private capex spending, and margin pressure to commodity and forex volatility. The coverage is uniform straight reporting, differing only in which metric is headlined. The key takeaway is the margin contraction from 12.4% to 10.9% amid revenue growth, a tension investors will watch at the next quarterly announcement.
