Siemens Mobility Results Impact Railway Equipment Market

Siemens Reports Record Mobility Orders Above EUR 10 Billion; Guides 6–8% Growth for FY2027

MUNICH, Germany — November 12, 2026 — Siemens AG reported record Mobility orders of more than EUR 10 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. It guided for comparable revenue growth of 6–8 percent at its Mobility business in fiscal 2027. The update is relevant to the Railway Equipment Market, which spans rolling stock, infrastructure equipment and services.

Siemens said Mobility secured several major rolling stock contracts in the quarter. Long-term service agreements accounted for more than EUR 4 billion of orders. The Mobility order backlog stands at more than EUR 65 billion, with an improved gross margin. The company noted that many recently booked projects will only begin converting to revenue beyond fiscal 2028.

Mobility revenue grew 9 percent in the fourth quarter, supported by backlog execution in rolling stock and customer services. The profit margin was 9.5 percent, and free cash flow reached EUR 1.4 billion. For fiscal 2027, Siemens expects a Mobility profit margin of 8–10 percent. It said integration costs for MERMEC and higher transformation costs will hold the margin back. Mobility closed the acquisition of key MERMEC Group businesses in early November, which Siemens expects to add about 3 percentage points to nominal revenue growth in fiscal 2027.

Siemens said it sees market opportunities arising from decarbonization, digitalization and modernization efforts by rail operators. It expects a Mobility book-to-bill ratio well above one. According to Next Move Strategy Consulting, the Railway Equipment Market was valued at USD 117.86 billion in 2025 and is estimated at USD 124.36 billion in 2026. It is projected to reach USD 201.70 billion by 2035, a CAGR of 5.52 percent from 2026 to 2035.

Key Highlights:

• Mobility booked record orders above EUR 10 billion in the fourth quarter, including several major rolling stock contracts and more than EUR 4 billion in long-term service agreements.

• The Mobility order backlog exceeds EUR 65 billion, with an improved gross margin.

• Fourth-quarter Mobility revenue rose 9 percent, with a 9.5 percent profit margin and EUR 1.4 billion in free cash flow.

• Fiscal 2027 Mobility guidance is comparable revenue growth of 6–8 percent and a profit margin of 8–10 percent. The MERMEC acquisition is expected to add about 3 percentage points to nominal revenue growth.

Analyst Insight:

According to analysts at Next Move Strategy Consulting, Europe holds the leading regional share of the Railway Equipment Market, supported by established rail networks and rising passenger numbers. Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing region.

NMSC analysts also note that diagnostic and inspection equipment and digital solutions such as IoT and analytics are distinct segments of the market. They expect smart technologies to enable predictive maintenance. Siemens’ acquisition of MERMEC adds diagnostics and measurement capabilities to its rail portfolio.

Industry Outlook:

Siemens’ guidance points to progressive revenue conversion from a large, long-dated backlog, with several recent projects starting to convert only after fiscal 2028. NMSC identifies urbanization, rail infrastructure investment and tourism growth as market drivers. It cites the high upfront cost of advanced railway technologies as a constraint.

Market participants are expected to track order intake, backlog conversion and the integration of recent acquisitions as fiscal 2027 begins.
