The CEO's stated production case run to its end: gas turbine output reaching the full 30 GW a year by 2030 rather than the 7.3 GW a quarter the base case compounds to, with Power holding the disclosed 22% segment margin, and a 20x exit. This is the claim under test, modelled as management states it. It gets to $857.83 - still 4.5% BELOW the traded price. That is the honest result and worth saying plainly: delivering the full stated production ramp, on the stated margin, does not on its own justify $898.53. The market is also paying for a multiple this case does not assume.

Onshore and offshore wind turbines and their services. This is the segment the company is deliberately shrinking: orders fell 40% organically in the basis quarter, revenue is guided down low-double digits for 2026, and every reported quarter but one has lost money at the segment line.

Assumptions & reasoning

  • This is the one place the model knowingly sits BELOW guidance. Management guides 2026 Wind segment EBITDA losses of about $400m, but the first half alone lost $657m, so the guide implies roughly +$257m of profit in the second half - a swing from the basis quarter's (13.6)% margin to about +5.5% in two quarters. A monotone glide can only reproduce that at a rate near 0.9, which would reach the 2028 terminal margin two years early and overstate Wind for the rest of the horizon.
  • The 0.45 glide used here instead produces about $(0.8)bn of 2026 Wind segment EBITDA against the guided $(0.4)bn, and reaches the disclosed 6% margin during 2028 rather than in 2026. The model is therefore deliberately more conservative than management on this segment, by roughly 0.8% of company revenue.
  • Wind carries the strongest seasonality of the three segments and the most convincing evidence for it: the first-quarter trough replicates almost exactly across both observable years, at 59.5% of the prior fourth quarter in 2025 and 60.5% in 2026.
