西门子（SIEGn.DE）周四公布的第四季度利润好于预期，并上调了中期增长展望，因这家德国工程集团继续看到用于为AI供电的数据中心需求强劲。
Siemens (SIEGn.DE) on Thursday reported better-than-expected profit in its fourth quarter and lifted its mid-term growth outlook, as the German engineering group continued to see strong demand from data centres used to power AI.
这家产品涵盖列车、工厂、建筑和数据中心用电气设备的公司表示，截至9月底的三个月内，工业利润跃升22%至38.9亿欧元（约合43.1亿美元）。
The company, whose products range from trains to electrical gear for factories, buildings and data centres, said industrial profit jumped 22% to €3.89 billion ($4.31 billion) for the three months to the end of September.
这一数字为西门子有史以来最高，超过了公司汇总的分析师共识预期37.1亿欧元。
The figure, the highest ever posted by Siemens, beat forecasts for €3.71 billion in a company gathered consensus of analysts.
与此同时，营收增长11%至236.8亿欧元，高于预期的233.9亿欧元；订单激增58%至历史新高的347.7亿欧元。
Revenues meanwhile rose 11% to €23.68 billion, ahead of forecasts for €23.39 billion while orders surged 58% to an all-time high to €34.77 billion.
增幅得益于西门子交通列车制造业务和为数据中心供货的智能基础设施业务斩获大单。
The increase was fuelled by big business wins at Siemens' mobility train making business, and its Smart Infrastructure operation which supplies data centres.
因此，西门子上调了中期指引，预期可比年收入增长指引为7%-11%，高于此前的6%-9%。
As a result Siemens raised its mid-term guidance, saying it expected comparative annual revenue growth guidance of 7-11%, up from 6-9% previously.
