Siemens raised its outlook and is seeing strong demand from data centers/automation. Conversely, Mercedes stock dropped ~4% on margin pressure, citing tariff uncertainty and fierce Chinese competition. This is a pair trade within the German economy. Siemens has successfully pivoted to industrial software (high margin, AI-linked), while automakers are trapped in a capital-intensive, low-margin war with China that they are losing. LONG the Industrial Software winner (Siemens); SHORT the Legacy Auto losers. A surprise removal of tariff threats or a sudden recovery in Chinese luxury auto demand. |
