Elements to consider before investing in this asset

Analysis N°1

Before buying or selling Siemens shares, it is important to study the strategies put in place by the group to develop its presence in emerging markets.

Analysis N°2

We would recommend the monitoring of the strategic acquisitions operations, the implementation of partnerships, joint ventures and mergers that the group particularly appreciates and which could assist it in gaining new parts of the market.

Analysis N°3

Siemens could also benefit from the creation of an increasing number of certain worldwide institutions in order to develop its internal solutions and become more independent.

Analysis N°4

Siemens could also benefit from the major rise in the demand for electricity as well as in the products and services part of this sector to sell its solutions and products thereby increasing its turnover.

Analysis N°5

The current ecological threat could cause a delay in the development of the group’s activities over the medium term. Siemens would have to react rapidly to governmental policies that became increasingly stringent and constricting environmental regulations which would have a negative impact on operations and the production system of the group.  

Analysis N°6

The international company status of Siemens could also become a problem due to major economic fluctuations and numerous financial devaluations. These two elements would have a major effect on the global financial performance of the group.

Analysis N°7

Finally, the loss of some of its suppliers or new litigation relating to them could well negatively influence the share price on the stock market through a significant decrease in production, an associated rise in costs or other repercussions.

Positive factors for Siemens
The factors in favour of a rise in the Siemens share price:

Before starting to reflect on the trading strategy you should adopt on the Siemens share price it is highly recommended that you learn about the strengths and weaknesses of this company in detail. This information will in fact greatly assist you in understanding the company’s present and future position and thereby successfully predict its growth and future development. You will also be in a better position to foresee if this company could attract or disappoint investors and therefore if its share price is likely to rise or fall over the medium or long term. Firstly let us start by reviewing the major strengths of this group.    

Firstly we should remember that the Siemens group is considered as one of the pioneers in the sector of technology based services. As such, it benefits from great experience and knowledge that enables it, even nowadays, to be consistently innovative in this area. Again due to its long experience in this activity sector, Siemens holds a major portfolio of patents in many sectors that guarantees a fairly fixed income supplementary to the revenue generated by its innovative products and services.    

Still on the subject of its position, the Siemens group is actually one of the most innovative companies on its market and introduces new solutions and products every year to satisfy the current and future requirements of the market and its consumers. Siemens also benefits from a strong presence in different activity sectors. Although mainly present in industry it is also active in energy, health, infrastructure and towns. Through its different objectives and varied market activities it can spread the risks of overexposure that are often due to a single activity or market sector.

The stock market investors and shareholders that follow the Siemens share price also appreciate the financial wellbeing of this group that is particularly stable, for a few years now too. It is therefore unlikely that an unpleasant surprise would occur regarding this specific aspect during the coming years.     

Another major strong point of the Siemens group of course concerns its wide geographical reach and strong presence around the world. In fact, Siemens has operations in no less than 190 different countries and works with over 180 companies at an international level. The size of its work force is also a strong point with no less than 400,000 employees worldwide. Due to these various points Siemens is able to maintain its dominant position on the market.

The group’s strategy is aimed towards the creation of numerous joint ventures with other companies and on the acquisition of other international companies that already boast a strong reputation. Thanks to this strong point in Siemens favour the group continues to increase its strength and further development.   

Finally, the Siemens group has demonstrated its ability to implement and hold a place in the public eye through its marketing strategy based on quality advertising and presence at major sporting and lifestyle events. It also uses online media and TVC. The Siemens brand has therefore come to represent a reputable and popular brand in the collective public mind.

Negative factors for Siemens
The factors in favour of a drop in the Siemens share price:

While the company's strengths, as described above, may make you want to buy Siemens shares, you should also consider its weaknesses before making a decision.

Firstly, one of the principal weaknesses of the Siemens group is of course related to its major dependence on external suppliers. Certain litigations, malfunctions, and pricing policy changes of the latter have noticeably decreased the operational efficacy of this company leading to a loss of profitability.    

The Siemens group has also been subject to the consequences of various recent scandals in the media. This includes allegations of corruption in the group by certain individuals; these have blemished the reputation of the brand. Luckily these allegations have been relatively few in number and the negative effect has started to diminish.

Earlier we noted that the Siemens Company has displayed a certain financial stability that served to reassure its investors. However we also note a significant increase in the group’s debt relating to its capital that could imperil the group over the long term if nothing is done to contain and erase this problem.     

Finally, due to its widely dispersed shareholders Siemens is gradually losing its internal control which complicates the taking of certain strategic decisions and could therefore damage its future growth and consequently its profits.
