Siemens Healthineers posts revenue beat, but lowers floor of profit outlook

May 7 (Reuters) - German medical technology group Siemens Healthineers SHLG.DE posted second quarter revenue slightly above market expectations on Wednesday, but brought down the lower end of its annual earnings forecast due to trade barriers and increased tariffs.

The company's revenue was 5.91 billion euros ($6.70 billion) in the second quarter, compared to the 5.80 billion euros expected by analysts in a consensus compiled by Vara Research.

It confirmed the full year outlook for comparable revenue growth of 5% to 6%, but expanded the forecast range for adjusted basic earnings per share to between 2.20 euros and 2.50 euros, from 2.35 euros to 2.50 euros previously.
