Detailed Coverage:

Siemens Ltd announced its financial results for the quarter ending September 30, 2025, reporting a consolidated net profit of ₹485 crore, a 7.1% decrease compared to ₹523 crore in the same period last year. However, the company achieved a significant 16% growth in revenue from operations, which rose to ₹5,171 crore from ₹4,457 crore year-on-year.

Managing Director and CEO Sunil Mathur highlighted strong performance in the mobility and smart infrastructure segments as key revenue drivers. He noted that Digital Industries volumes were impacted by a reduced reach in the order backlog from the previous year and muted private sector capital expenditure.

The decline in profit was partly attributed to a one-time gain of ₹69 crore from the sale of property in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2024, which boosted the prior year's comparative period. The company also informed about a significant change in its financial year. Effective October 1, 2024, its financial year will shift from the October-September cycle to April-March. Consequently, the current financial year will be an extended 18-month period, from October 1, 2024, to March 31, 2026.

Impact This news has a moderate impact on the Indian stock market, particularly on Siemens Ltd and related industrial sectors. Investors will monitor the operational performance given the profit dip and the strategic implications of the financial year change.
