📈 Financial Highlights & Drivers

1. The “Data Center & AI” Effect

A significant portion of the revenue growth in 2025 and 2026 has been attributed to the AI boom. Large-scale data centers require massive transformers and grid stability solutions, which are Hitachi Energy’s specialty.

  • Global Revenue Proxy: Globally, the Hitachi Group reported a 10% increase in total revenue in late 2025, with the Energy segment being a primary driver alongside their Lumada (digital) business.

2. High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Dominance

The company secured massive project wins, such as the Bhadla-Fatehpur link, which significantly boosted the order book. These “mega-projects” provide revenue visibility for the next 3–5 years.

3. Margin Expansion

The most impressive part of the recent reports is the jump in profitability.

  • Execution Efficiency: Net Profit grew much faster than Revenue (400% vs 23%), indicating that the company is successfully executing higher-margin, technology-intensive orders rather than just high-volume commodity parts.

  • Service Growth: Service orders grew 35% YoY, which traditionally carry much higher margins than hardware sales.

4. Strategic Full Ownership

In late 2025, parent company Hitachi Ltd moved to acquire the remaining 19.9% stake in the energy business, signaling total commitment to the subsidiary and simplifying the corporate structure for better capital allocation.
