Siemens Energy, dynaCERT, BYD: The Next Wave of Growth Is Already Underway

Siemens Energy: Spin-off Plans Provide a Boost

Advancing digitalization, particularly the development of artificial intelligence applications, requires the construction of new data centers worldwide. These facilities have high energy demands and rely on a constant, high-performance power supply. As a supplier of energy infrastructure, Siemens Energy is seeing growing demand for its technological solutions for power transmission and grid stability as a result of this expansion.

In addition to this growth driven by external factors, the company is currently exploring far-reaching structural changes. For example, a spin-off of the steam turbine and compressor segment is under consideration. This business unit generates revenue of EUR 5.7 billion. Options being evaluated internally reportedly include a separate stock market listing or a direct share issuance. With this restructuring, the group aims to increase the profitability of its core operating segments while enhancing shareholder value. Formal confirmation of the restructuring plans has not yet been provided. The company has merely stated that its internal organization is subject to regular analysis.

The financial markets have reacted positively to these strategic considerations. Analysts at major financial institutions view the potential adjustments as a rational component of the company's overarching strategic planning. JPMorgan reaffirmed its "Overweight" rating with a price target of EUR 225. The experts cite the industry's persistently high demand for reliable and efficient energy systems as the rationale for this assessment. In addition, the Executive Board strengthened investor confidence at recent industry events. According to experts, specific statements from the finance department regarding robust order growth, a stable pricing policy, and better-than-expected developments in the Asian automation business confirm the current optimistic valuation.

dynaCERT: Setting the Course

dynaCERT is one of the few cleantech companies worldwide that does not rely on the complete replacement of existing infrastructure, but rather on economically attractive retrofitting. With its patented HydraGEN™ technology, existing diesel engines in trucks, mining machinery, generators, and construction equipment can be operated more efficiently.

In this process, hydrogen is generated on demand via electrolysis and fed into the combustion process. The results are lower fuel consumption, reduced emissions, and a smaller carbon footprint. According to the company, fuel savings of up to 10% are possible, while the investment often pays for itself within 1.5 to 2 years. A particularly attractive feature is the minimal installation time of just a few hours for standard applications.

Another key component of the business model is the HydraLytica™ digital telematics platform. It tracks savings in real time, documents emission reductions, and lays the groundwork for the subsequent trading of CO₂ credits. Thanks to its existing Verra certification, dynaCERT could additionally benefit from the global market for tradable carbon credits in the future.

The recently announced expansion into Southeast Asia could drive growth. In Vietnam, dynaCERT has entered into strategic partnerships with the renowned Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HCMUT) and a leading oil and gas company. The goals are joint pilot projects and the technical validation of the technology under local conditions. Initial installations on heavy-duty vehicles and container handling equipment are already underway in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Hai Phong. The market potential is enormous, as more than 3.5 million diesel-powered commercial vehicles and construction machines are in use in Vietnam alone.

dynaCERT is receiving additional momentum from a planned private placement of up to CAD 5 million. The financing is intended to specifically support the global distribution of HydraGEN™ technology in the mining, oil & gas, transportation, construction, port logistics, and stationary power sectors. In doing so, the company is not only securing fresh capital for international expansion but also laying the groundwork to significantly accelerate the commercialization of its technology. Given rising energy costs, increasingly stringent emissions regulations, and a massive global diesel fleet, dynaCERT could thus be on the verge of a decisive growth phase.

BYD: On Course for Expansion

The electric vehicle market in Germany continues to be marked by price wars. The Chinese company BYD is pursuing an ambitious expansion strategy in the German automotive market to sustainably consolidate its presence in the field of electric mobility. The main focus here is on the dynamic expansion of its own sales and service network. Within a short period of time, the number of active locations has multiplied, with the goal of establishing a nationwide presence in the triple-digit range by the end of the current calendar year.

Geographically, the company is focusing equally on urban metropolitan areas and rural regions to ensure broad accessibility. Strategically, BYD distinguishes itself from many competitors by deliberately avoiding a pure agency model. Instead, management relies on the entrepreneurial independence and initiative of traditional authorized dealers. These dealers are motivated by attractive margin models and long-term partnerships. To minimize the financial risk for new dealership partners, the manufacturer offers optimized onboarding processes, financial support during the start-up phase, and long-term investment protection. The product portfolio includes both all-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. In addition, qualified partners will have the opportunity to distribute the group's own premium brand, Denza, in the future.

International financial experts are increasingly optimistic about the group's economic performance. Major bank UBS has thus maintained its "Buy" recommendation for the stock. Analysts cite the expectation that the company will gain further market share in the global marketplace as the reason for this decision. While established competitors such as Tesla are facing an aging model lineup and declining brand appeal, BYD is benefiting from growing customer acceptance in Europe. It is projected that rising export rates outside the Chinese domestic market will significantly boost the group's profitability, which is why profit forecasts for the coming years have been revised upward.

In addition, BYD is further expanding its premium product lineup in its home market of China. With the official launch of the "Great Tang" model—a seven-seat electric SUV over 5 m long—the company is closing a strategic gap in the high-end price segment and clearly differentiating itself from its luxury sub-brands. The vehicle is based on a modern 1,000-volt architecture, which, combined with the latest generation of the company's proprietary battery technology, enables extremely short charging times of less than 10 minutes.

Siemens Energy is benefiting from the global expansion of energy infrastructure for AI, data centers, and electrification, while potential spin-off plans could unlock additional value-creation potential for shareholders. With its retrofit solution for existing diesel engines, dynaCERT is targeting a market worth billions and could enter a new phase of growth through expansion into Southeast Asia and the potential in CO₂ emissions trading. BYD is gaining market share worldwide, is consistently driving its expansion in Europe, and is likely to benefit from the continuing rise in demand for electric mobility, driven by innovative battery technology and a strong model lineup.
