Stadler Rail has seen its share price climb above the 100-day moving average, ending Friday at €21.40. The Swiss train manufacturer also announced a major deal to supply 226 driverless S-Bahn trains to Danish State Railways (DSB).

The company’s latest success comes from a multibillion-dollar contract with DSB. Stadler Rail will deliver the automated trains in partnership with Siemens, though no tender details were disclosed before the collaboration.

Meanwhile, Stadler is facing legal challenges. Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) is in a dispute with the firm over a lost contract for 116 double-decker trains. In Vienna, the operator of the City Airport Train (CAT) revealed the exterior design of its new Stadler KISS double-decker trains. These are scheduled to begin service in 2027, further expanding Stadler’s presence in European rail networks.

The Danish deal marks a significant win for Stadler Rail, despite its ongoing legal issues. With shares rising and new projects in Vienna and Copenhagen, the company continues to expand its market reach. The 2027 launch of the CAT trains will add to its growing portfolio of modern rail solutions.
