what happened

According to RTTNews and dpa-AFX, Switzerland-based ABB Ltd (ABBN.SW) reported that its third-quarter profit fell compared with a year earlier. Net income was $1.181 billion, or $0.65 per share, versus $1.208 billion, or $0.66 per share, a year ago.

Revenue for the quarter, by contrast, rose 14.3% to $9.701 billion from $8.491 billion last year.

why it matters

A gap where revenue grows faster than profit usually points to margin pressure or higher costs. For investors in the industrial sector, this is a signal worth checking against the company's guidance and its comments on expenses.
