ABB (ISIN CH0012221716) reported USD 18.21 billion in first-half 2026 revenue, up 16 percent from the prior-year period, while ABB stock was trading at EUR 84.38 at Lang & Schwarz on October 9, 2026. The result keeps growth and capital returns at the center of the investment case.
Revenue growth reaches 16 percent
According to i-Magazin on October 1, 2026, ABB increased first-half revenue to USD 18.21 billion from the prior-year period, while operational EBITA rose 28 percent to USD 3.97 billion. The operational EBITA margin increased from 19.80 percent to 21.80 percent.
The second quarter supplied the strongest operating figure in the report. Revenue reached USD 9.48 billion, up 14 percent year over year, while quarterly orders rose 30 percent to USD 12.04 billion, giving ABB a quantified comparison between sales and demand.
Three dated milestones shape the story
On July 16, 2026, ABB reported second-quarter revenue of USD 9.48 billion and operational EBITA of USD 1.93 billion, according to i-Magazin. On September 24, 2026, ABB disclosed a buyback of 584,551 shares for the period from September 17 through September 23, according to Deutsche Boerse. On October 1, 2026, the half-year report placed revenue at USD 18.21 billion and operational EBITA at USD 3.97 billion, as reported by i-Magazin.
What comes next for ABB margins?
The next quantified test is the third-quarter report scheduled for October 20, 2026. ABB's second-quarter operational EBITA margin was 20.20 percent, so the next release will show whether the first-half margin of 21.80 percent is supported by further operating progress.
