Nordex wins big orders, doubles profit, and cuts financing costs

Major order wins in Romania and US Nordex will supply 56 turbines for a 392 MW Romanian wind farm and won a 325 MW US order. These large orders show strong demand for Nordex turbines, supporting future revenue and profit growth.
New large orders directly boost Nordex's order book and future sales, a key driver of the stock.
Cheaper, larger guarantee facility Nordex secured a €2.475 billion ESG-linked guarantee facility with lower interest rates and a five-year term. This cuts financing costs and signals strong bank confidence, improving financial flexibility and profitability.
The improved financing terms reduce costs and reflect turnaround progress, directly impacting Nordex's financial health.
Q2 profit doubles, outlook confirmed Nordex more than doubled Q2 EBITDA to €223.8 million and tripled net income, with revenue up 16.3%. The company confirmed its 2026 outlook, showing the turnaround is delivering real profit growth.
Strong earnings and reaffirmed guidance are core drivers of investor confidence and stock valuation.
525 MW order in Türkiye Nordex won a 525 MW order from Türkerler Holding in Türkiye, including a 10-year service agreement. This strengthens its leading 34% market share in Turkey and adds to the growing order backlog.
A large new order in a key market expands Nordex's order book and reinforces its competitive position.

Q3 202624 Jun – 10 Sep 2026

AI and reshoring demand support steel, but Chinese oversupply caps gains

AI infrastructure drives steel demand AI data centers need heavy structural steel for server racks, floors, and cooling. With 831 projects under construction globally, this new demand supports US HRC prices, especially for modern electric-arc producers like Nucor and Steel Dynamics.
This is a major new source of demand that lifts steel prices.
Capital shifts to real economy, boosting steel A strategist says US capitalism is moving from buybacks to building real assets like steel, copper, and power. This reshoring and supply-chain trend means more investment in steel capacity and higher demand for US HRC.
It signals a broad shift that increases steel demand and investment.
USMCA talks create tariff uncertainty US and Mexico will hold a fourth round of USMCA talks in September. Progress on steel trade is positive, but unresolved issues like Section 232 tariffs (50% on steel) and US content rules keep uncertainty high, which can sway steel prices both ways.
Trade policy directly affects steel flows and prices, and the outcome is unclear.
Chinese oversupply weighs on steel prices Thailand's construction material index shows steel prices fell 0.6% in August due to excess Chinese supply. This global glut, with projected excess capacity of 745 million tons by 2028, pressures US HRC prices by keeping a lid on global benchmarks.
It is a key counterweight that limits price gains from demand.
