What Nordex does

German manufacturer of onshore wind turbines, selling and servicing turbines to wind farm developers worldwide.

Earns from turbine sales, booked as projects are installed, and from service contracts that run for many years on turbines it has installed, which are steadier than the sales. Acciona of Spain is the largest shareholder.

In one line: A German Vestas/GE Wind competitor.

Products and services

  • Onshore wind turbines
  • Turbine service & maintenance contracts
  • Rotor blade manufacturing

Customers

  • Wind farm developers/operators
  • Utilities
  • Independent power producers

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Renewable energy equipment
  • Wind turbine manufacturing
  • Turbine sales + long-term service…

What could go right

  • Onshore wind buildout (Europe, US, emerging markets)
  • Service contract backlog growth
  • Repowering of older wind farms

What could go wrong

  • Turbine price competition (esp. Chinese makers)
  • Raw material/logistics cost swings
  • Project financing/interest rate sensitivity

Moat: narrow (installed base, customer qualification, process know-how). Long-term service contracts on installed turbine fleet provide recurring revenue, but turbine sales are price-competitive.

Named competitors: Vestas Wind Systems (VWS.CO), Siemens Gamesa (Siemens Energy) (ENR.DE), GE Vernova (GEV), Goldwind (002202.SZ), Enercon (private) (private or unlisted). The cockpit's measured peer set (industry) also includes Regal Rexnord (RRX), Jiangsu Zhongtian Technology (600522.SS), Nidec (6594.T), GE Vernova T&D India (GVT&D.NS), Hyosung Heavy (298040.KS), Shanghai Electric (2727.HK).
Is Nordex expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 19.6× against a peer median of 17.4×, 9th most expensive of 21 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 4% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +10%, so the hurdle is -6 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has Nordex stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -6.8% against -21.4% for the median peer; over one year +58.8%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
