Schneider Electric SE (SU.FR) said Thursday that it has raised its 2018 guidance after reporting better-than-expected third-quarter revenue.

Revenue for the quarter rose to 6.38 billion euros ($7.29 billion) from EUR5.90 billion a year earlier, the company said.

Analysts expected revenue of EUR6.31 billion according to a FactSet-compiled consensus.

Based on the solid third-quarter results, Schneider raised its target for 2018 organic sales growth to 6% from a previous estimate of between 5% and 6%.

The group also now expects organic growth in adjust earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of between 8% and 9%, compared with an earlier forecast of between 7% and 8%.

"For the end of the year, the group expects to benefit from its balanced exposure to end-markets and

geographies," Chief Executive Jean-Pascal Tricoire said.
