Siemens Energy shares climbed 4% on Monday after German newspaper Handelsblatt reported Monday that the German government will provide 7.5 billion euros in guarantees to safeguard the company’s order book.
Problems with manufacturing faults at wind turbine subsidiary Siemens Gamesa led Siemens Energy to scrap its profit forecast earlier this year, and last month the company sought guarantees of up to 15 billion euros ($16 billion) from the German government.
Handelsblatt reported, citing sources, that the government will provide a 7.5 billion euro backstop while banks involved in discussions will bear 12 billion euros of guarantees.
