Siemens AG (ETR:SIEGn) is one of the largest and most well-known German companies worldwide. The DAX-listed group operates 125 locations in Germany and is active in various sectors, including rail vehicles, engines, medical technology, energy and defence equipment.
 
Historical development
 
Siemens was founded in 1847 by Werner Siemens after he developed a pointer telegraph for the Prussian Telegraph Commission. In the following decades, the company grew into one of the first multinational corporations in Europe and expanded its activities globally.
 
Challenges and scandals in the 21st century
 
In 2006, Siemens was embroiled in one of the biggest corruption scandals in German economic history. Systematic bribery payments were uncovered, leading to the resignation of CEO Klaus Kleinfeld and Supervisory Board Chairman Heinrich von Pierer. As a result of the incidents, Siemens was fined heavily. As early as 2007, the group began restructuring its operations in the industrial, energy and medical sectors.
 
Strategic realignment
 
As part of the restructuring, Siemens divested itself of some business areas, including mobile communications technology and nuclear power, and focused on new fields such as wind power. In 2017, Siemens announced that it would establish a joint venture with French competitor Alstom (EPA:ALSO) in the rail transport sector. At the same time, CEO Joe Kaeser made negative headlines when he announced 7,000 job cuts, 3,400 of which were in Germany. However, the company plans to create new jobs in future-oriented areas.
 
Realignment in the field of eMobility
 
Siemens is currently planning further restructuring. The eMobility division, which deals with charging solutions for electric vehicles and employs around 1,300 people worldwide, is to be given its own legal structure. This should enable the division to be more flexible and pave the way for new partnerships, as Siemens CEO Matthias Rebellius emphasised.
 
It was not revealed whether Siemens is planning to divest itself of eMobility in the long term or to take the division public. This year, Siemens has already acquired the Dutch charging solution expert Heliox, thereby expanding its presence in Germany, Portugal, the USA, India and the Netherlands. This argues against a sale of the eMobility division.
 
A poor advisor: average opinion
 
Those who give in to the general negative sentiment now will miss out on extreme opportunities that arise whenever sentiment couldn't be any worse. Stock markets are faster than the average opinion due to their efficiency. The latter is sluggish and always lags behind the market.
 
We do not want to ignore the problems in German industry. They are there, but they can all be solved, including those in the automotive industry. We have already pointed out the opportunities that lie ahead in the automotive industry. And Siemens is now showing it with a phenomenal increase in its share price in recent weeks.
 
We are already invested and have recently purchased additional Siemens shares because we believe that Siemens stock will move very far upward in the coming years. Incidentally, this also applies to numerous European and US stocks. We are currently buying a lot and following up. There are so many opportunities now that no one should miss.
 
4-hour chart of Siemens AG
 
Siemens has seen an extremely strong upward trend. In the area of the red box between €183.62 and €193.90, resistance lurks that the stock must overcome. We see the maximum downside risk as being the zone between €145.98 and €134.32. Support is at €171.48. If this holds, further increases can be expected. In the long term, in both cases, the share price is expected to rise well above €204.70.
