ABB (CH0012221716) stock traded around CHF 77.36 on September 3, 2026, after a modest intraday dip in Zurich. The move came as the group's Q2 2026 revenue reached USD 9.47 billion and earnings were USD 1.23 billion, leaving a profit margin of 12.99 percent.
Margins stay above 12 percent
According to the latest market commentary published on September 3, 2026, ABB's shares were quoted near CHF 77.36 on the SIX Swiss Exchange, with the session low at CHF 77.14 and the opening level at CHF 77.14. The same report also set the 52-week high at CHF 89.14 and the 52-week low at CHF 53.00, framing the stock's current price zone in a clear range.
For investors, the more important number is the quarter: Q2 2026 revenue of USD 9.47 billion and earnings of USD 1.23 billion translate into a 12.99 percent margin, while EPS in the same quarter stood at CHF 0.54 versus CHF 0.52 a year earlier. Revenue in that quarter rose to CHF 7.51 billion from CHF 7.31 billion, a year-on-year increase of 2.75 percent in the Swiss-currency reporting view cited by finanzen.ch.
Trading stays cautious
The stock also showed a small retreat from the prior session, when it closed at CHF 77.64 on September 2, 2026 after opening at CHF 78.72. That leaves the current quotation only a few francs below the recent close, while still far from the CHF 89.14 52-week peak.
SMI context matters as well: the Swiss benchmark stood at 14,372 points in the same morning market snapshot, keeping ABB in a market environment that was steady rather than aggressive. The combination of a CHF 77.36 share price, a CHF 89.14 high, and a CHF 53.00 low gives the stock a defined trading band that investors can track into the next earnings phase.
ABB drives and automation in focus
Industrial drives and automation remain a representative product line, with the latest quarter still anchored by CHF 7.51 billion in revenue and CHF 0.54 EPS.
ABB drives and automation
ABB's industrial drives are a useful proxy for the company's electrification business, because the product family sits close to the energy-efficiency theme that supports demand in factories and infrastructure. The latest quarterly figures, with USD 9.47 billion in revenue and USD 1.23 billion in earnings, suggest that this portfolio is still contributing to a double-digit margin profile.
Price and market setup
ABB stock traded at CHF 77.36 on September 3, 2026, with the latest intraday range at CHF 77.14 to CHF 77.92 and a prior close of CHF 77.64 on September 2, 2026. The wider 52-week band of CHF 53.00 to CHF 89.14 leaves the shares well above the low and still below the high.
