Thanks to strong demand from data centers, Schneider Electric (SCHN.PA), a French industrial group, reported an adjusted operating profit (EBITA) of €7.52 billion in 2025, surpassing the analyst average forecast of €7.48 billion. The company’s stock price rose nearly 4% after the announcement, reaching a record high of €275.

Schneider Electric was once known for industrial components such as fuses and circuit breakers, but now offers a full range of data center infrastructure, including cooling equipment, server racks, and power distribution. Data center and networking businesses now account for about 30% of the company’s total orders. In the pure data center sector, the company achieved triple-digit percentage growth. Outgoing CFO Maxson stated that while the US drove data center growth, demand in Nordic countries and France is also increasing.

For fiscal year 2026, Schneider expects organic sales growth of 7% to 10%, with adjusted EBITA margins increasing by 50 to 80 basis points. However, analysts consider this forecast to be conservative.
