what happened
According to Reuters, ABB reported third-quarter revenue of $9,701 million, net income of $1,181 million and basic earnings per share of $0.65. Operating income reached $1,846 million, orders totaled $12,055 million and EBITA came in at $2,026 million.
For the fourth quarter, the company expects comparable revenue growth to be broadly similar to the third quarter, with the operational EBITA margin softening sequentially, though by less than the historical pattern. The outlook excludes a positive impact of CHF240 million from property sales already completed in Q4. For 2026, ABB expects a positive book-to-bill ratio and comparable revenue growth in euro terms in the low teens, and a reported operational EBITA margin improvement of at least 270 basis points year-on-year.
why it matters
As a large industrial group, ABB gives investors a read on demand for automation and electrical equipment. The margin guidance, even with slower expected revenue growth, matters for those tracking earnings durability across the industrial sector.
