Alstom reports 4.9% Q1 sales growth alongside 37% decline in new orders

Alstom posted a 4.9% year-on-year revenue increase to 4.73 billion euros, driven by gains in Europe and the EMEA region that offset weakness in the Americas and Asia-Pacific. However, new orders plummeted 37% to 2.56 billion euros, signaling a potential slowdown in future project pipeline execution.
