The stock gapped up at the opening bell after Vestas unveiled adjusted EBIT of \u20ac446 million for the second quarter, substantially outpacing the \u20ac205 million analyst consensus. The figure represents a massive 117% beat and even surpassed the most bullish analyst projections.<\/p>\n

Quarterly revenue reached \u20ac4.72 billion, approximately 4% higher than the \u20ac4.54 billion consensus figure. Gross profit of \u20ac801 million similarly exceeded the \u20ac664 million upper boundary of analyst estimates.<\/p>\n

The Power Solutions division emerged as the clear winner. The segment delivered adjusted EBIT of \u20ac397 million versus consensus expectations of \u20ac156 million, achieving an EBIT margin of 10.4%. This performance was approximately 600 basis points superior to analyst forecasts.<\/p>\n

Jefferies, maintaining a buy recommendation on the stock with a DKK215 price target, attributed the Power Solutions margin expansion to \u201cstrong execution in both onshore and offshore.\u201d<\/p>\n

Company Raises Margin Outlook<\/p>\n

Vestas increased its full-year EBIT margin guidance to a range of 7-9%, representing an upgrade from the prior 6-8% range. The company maintained its revenue guidance at \u20ac20 billion to \u20ac22 billion.<\/p>\n

Jefferies<\/a> noted that the midpoint of the updated margin guidance suggests approximately 9% upward revisions to consensus earnings estimates.<\/p>\n

Net income for the quarter totaled \u20ac285 million, significantly exceeding both the \u20ac144 million consensus and the \u20ac193 million upper end of analyst projections. This marks a substantial improvement from the \u20ac34 million reported in the same period last year.<\/p>\n

Free cash flow of \u20ac99 million fell modestly short of the \u20ac112 million consensus estimate, though management emphasized that results are weighted toward the second half of the year.<\/p>\n

\u20ac400 Million Buyback Program Launched<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s board authorized a new \u20ac400 million share repurchase program, scheduled to commence August 13 and continue through year-end. CEO Henrik Andersen characterized the initiative as demonstrating confidence in the company\u2019s trajectory.<\/p>\n

\u201cDemand for wind energy solutions remains strong due to the growing need for secure, affordable, and sustainable energy,\u201d Andersen stated in the company\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

Wind turbine orders in the second quarter totaled 3,349 megawatts, running 3% ahead of consensus. Deliveries reached 3,504 megawatts, also surpassing the 3,406-megawatt consensus projection, boosted by increased volumes in the EMEA region.<\/p>\n

Overall turbine orders increased more than 50% during the first six months of 2025 compared to the prior-year period. The company\u2019s delivery backlog stood at \u20ac36 billion at quarter-end.<\/p>\n

Average selling prices fell to \u20ac1.0 million per megawatt from \u20ac1.11 million in the year-ago quarter, reflecting the absence of offshore orders during the period and a greater proportion of lower-scope U.S. projects.<\/p>\n

The service division generated revenue of \u20ac896 million, nearly matching the \u20ac900 million consensus, with adjusted EBIT of \u20ac149 million and a 16.6% margin, largely aligned with analyst expectations.<\/p>\n

VWS stock has now climbed more than 20% year to date, building on a 77% advance in 2025.<\/p>\n
