Siemens shares fell sharply on Tuesday on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange's DAX, as HSBC lowered its recommendation on the stock to 'lighten up'.

The stock is currently losing 0.6%, while the DAX is completely unchanged.

HSBC, which is maintaining its price target of 150 euros, says it is concerned about the industrial group's ability to achieve its targets for the 2023/2024 financial year, given the current weakness of demand in Germany and China.

More generally, in a note devoted to European industrial stocks, the research department explains that it is cautious about the sector after its recent "rally" on the stock market, which in its view incorporates generalized growth over the medium term, whereas only the American market currently appears to be in good shape.
