Published on 09/20/2026 at 11:01 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
ABB stock (ISIN CH0012221716) closed at CHF 80.98 on September 18, 2026, up 1.8 percent from CHF 79.52. On September 19, 2026, ad hoc news reported that ABB's full-year 2026 revenue outlook was raised to low double-digit to low-teens percentage growth, while the latest quarter showed an operational EBITA margin of 20.2 percent.
Margins stay in view
That same coverage said ABB's second quarter 2026 earnings per share rose 8 percent to USD 0.68 from the prior-year period, while finanzen.ch cited reported EPS of CHF 0.54 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, versus CHF 0.52 a year earlier. Revenue increased about 2.7 percent to CHF 7.51 billion from CHF 7.31 billion in the same period.
The numbers matter because the margin held above 20 percent even as the company lifted its revenue outlook. For investors, that makes execution more important than the share price move alone.
Buybacks and the next date
The same September 19, 2026 report also said ABB plans to publish third-quarter 2026 results on October 20, 2026, giving the market a clear test of whether the higher guidance can hold. ABB's buyback pace was also described as accelerating, which adds a second support line to the current market story.
