Description: KSB3 KSB SE & Co. KGaA November 30, 2025
KSB SE & Co. KGaA (XETRA:KSB3) is a German-based industrial-machinery group that designs, manufactures, and services pumps, valves, and related solutions for a broad range of end-markets, including energy, mining, water management, building services, petrochemicals, and general industry.
The business is organized into three operating segments:
- Pumps: single- and multistage centrifugal pumps, submersible units, and integrated control-drive packages.
- Valves: butterfly, globe, gate, control, diaphragm, and ball valves together with actuators and automation interfaces.
- KSB SupremeServ: full-life-cycle services-installation, commissioning, inspection, maintenance, repair, modular service concepts, system analyses, and spare-parts logistics.
Key quantitative signals (as of FY 2023) that help gauge KSB’s market position include a revenue of roughly **€3.2 bn**, an operating margin of **≈9 %**, and a **free cash flow conversion of ~80 %**, indicating strong cash generation relative to earnings. The company’s order backlog was reported at **≈€1.1 bn**, providing visibility into near-term demand.
Sector-level drivers that materially affect KSB’s outlook are:
- **Infrastructure-spending cycles** in Europe and emerging markets, which lift demand for water-treatment and energy-generation pump/valve systems.
- **Energy transition policies** (e.g., EU Green Deal) that spur upgrades of renewable-energy and hydrogen-infrastructure, raising requirements for high-efficiency, corrosion-resistant equipment.
- **Industrial automation trends**, where digital-control and predictive-maintenance services (core to SupremeServ) command higher margins and recurring revenue streams.
Assumption: the FY 2023 figures are taken from the most recent audited statements; any subsequent quarterly updates could materially shift the KPI baselines.
If you want a data-rich, forward-looking valuation framework for KSB, the ValueRay platform offers a transparent model that lets you stress-test these drivers yourself.
