Alstom: Improving Execution and Backlog Conversion Support Profitable Growth
Alstom offers a comprehensive portfolio, including rolling stock (51% of revenue), services (24%), and signaling and systems (25%), setting it apart from competitors.
Alstom offers a comprehensive portfolio, including rolling stock (51% of revenue), services (24%), and signaling and systems (25%), setting it apart from competitors.
A EUR-100-billion backlog, 58% from higher-margin services and signaling, and a growing European rail market provide exceptional revenue visibility and a credible recovery path once ramp-ups stabilize.
Three consecutive years of cash disappointments and two profit warnings since Bombardier suggest execution failures are systemic—better backlog quality has not translated into better delivery.
