Published on 08/28/2026 at 18:02 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
ABB Ltd. stock (CH0012221716) rose 0.9% to CHF 80.00 on August 28, 2026, with intraday trade reaching CHF 80.80 and 696,822 shares changing hands in SIX SX trading. The move came as the company's latest quarter showed CHF 7.51 billion in revenue and EPS of CHF 0.54, both tied to the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
The same quarter was up 2.75% from CHF 7.31 billion a year earlier, while EPS improved from CHF 0.52. That combination gives investors a concrete read on both growth and profit, even with the share price still 10.25% below the 52-week high of CHF 89.14 reached on June 22, 2026.
Quarterly numbers stay in view
ABB's reported revenue of CHF 7.51 billion and EPS of CHF 0.54 came from the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and the company disclosed those results on July 16, 2026. The comparison with the prior-year quarter is useful: revenue grew by CHF 0.20 billion, and EPS added CHF 0.02.
Analysts now look for 2026 earnings of USD 3.37 per share, a figure that frames the market's current expectations against the latest reported quarter. The dividend picture is also steady, with shareholders having received CHF 0.940 for 2025 and analysts seeing USD 1.18 for the current year.
What the chart says
ABB's share price opened at CHF 79.24 and traded as high as CHF 80.80 on August 28, 2026, after closing the day before at CHF 79.30. The stock therefore sits well below its 52-week high, but still far above the 52-week low of CHF 52.66 set on September 3, 2025.
The SMI was at 14,406 points when ABB moved higher, which kept the stock inside a firm Swiss large-cap tape rather than an isolated move. That relative backdrop matters because the session rise was modest, yet the volume was already heavy by midday.
Industrial work in the pipeline
ABB's recent business mix still points to electrification and industrial automation demand, with the latest public update also highlighting a control-system contract for a liquefied-hydrogen terminal in Japan. The contract adds another dated reference point for a company that keeps turning large-project execution into recurring investor attention.
For the product side, ABB's robotics and automation portfolio remains the clearest representative business line for the group. It is the part of the company most closely tied to factory automation, process control, and large industrial customers.
Price and market view
ABB shares traded at CHF 80.00 on August 28, 2026, after reaching CHF 80.80 intraday. With a market cap inferred from the quoted price context and the latest results supporting revenue of CHF 7.51 billion in the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the stock enters the final part of the month with the market still focused on execution.
