Overview
- About 30 percentage points of Siemens Healthineers will be transferred to Siemens shareholders via a preferred direct distribution, reducing the holding from roughly 67% to around 37%.
- The deconsolidation plan remains contingent on approvals at both companies’ annual meetings, with detailed mechanics slated for disclosure around the second quarter of 2026.
- Siemens cites capital flexibility and portfolio simplification as goals and indicated it could further shrink the Healthineers stake over time toward a purely financial holding.
- The announcement accompanied a third straight record net profit of €10.4 billion, a proposed dividend raise to €5.35, growth guidance of 6–9% excluding Healthineers, plans to double digital revenue by 2030, and €1 billion for AI over three years.
- Healthineers CEO Bernd Montag welcomed the clarity, unions secured commitments on tariffs, jobs and sites, and Siemens named Veronika Bienert to succeed CFO Ralf P. Thomas after a transition.
