FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX) - On Friday, Siemens investors lost none of the significant price gains of the previous weeks. Instead, the Munich-based company's shares fell to 170.42 euros in the morning, their lowest level since February. On Monday morning, they had reached a record high of almost 189 euros. Especially since the quarterly report published the day before, the share price has been falling sharply and has also fallen below the 100-day line.

Barclays analyst Vlad Sergievskii commented that the risks to the market consensus are becoming increasingly clear - both for the current and the coming financial year. He assumes that the headwind in the automation sector will continue into the coming financial year and can only be partially cushioned by other segments. With his price target of 125 euros, he is still signaling considerable setback risks.

Others, such as Mark Fielding from the investment bank RBC or Andre Kukhnin from UBS, are much more optimistic. Kukhnin, for example, considers 200 euros to be appropriate. He sees the price setback as more of a buying opportunity with a view to the second half of the year and praises the attractive valuation./ag/ajx/jha/
