Overview
- Siemens will cut its 67% holding in Siemens Healthineers by roughly 30 percentage points, transferring those shares to existing Siemens investors via a direct distribution subject to shareholder approvals.
- The company expects to finalize the legal and tax design in the coming months with fuller details targeted for early in the second quarter of 2026.
- Siemens plans to remain a significant minority owner and over time convert the residual stake into a purely financial holding.
- Healthineers’ leadership welcomed the move as providing clarity, and labor representatives backed the plan after commitments on tariff coverage, job and site protections, and keeping the headquarters in Germany.
- Alongside the strategy update, Siemens reported a third straight record profit, proposed lifting the dividend to €5.35, set midterm growth targets including doubling its software-led digital business by 2030 with €1 billion for AI, and named Veronika Bienert to succeed CFO Ralf Thomas after a transition.
