** The broker points to peer pressure on the share arising from the 30% decrease in valuations of industrial software peers and the share price performance of its spin-offs Siemens Healthineers SHLG.DE and Siemens Energy ENR1n.DE
** Kepler says a key structural catalyst for the share price played out in 2025 with the partial spin off of Siemens Healthineers
