ABB stock holds steady as half year sales reach CHF 16.8 billion

ABB stock is anchored by CHF 16.8 billion in half year revenue and a CHF 143.683 billion market value after the latest close. The second quarter update showed $0.77 adjusted EPS and 12 percent order growth.

ABB Ltd. (CH0012221716) held a market value of CHF 143.683 billion after a 79.28 Swiss franc close on August 27, 2026, while its 52-week range sat between 52.66 and 89.14 francs. The latest half-year update showed CHF 16.8 billion in revenue for the six months to June 30, 2026, giving investors a current price-and-fundamentals anchor in one view.

Half-year numbers still matter

For the first half of 2026, ABB reported CHF 16.8 billion in revenue and CHF 3.1 billion in operational EBIT, with the margin at 18.6 percent. That operational EBIT margin was 60 basis points above the 18.0 percent level from the same period a year earlier, which keeps the margin trend in the foreground.

In the second quarter, revenue reached CHF 8.2 billion and operational EBIT rose to CHF 1.5 billion, while the margin improved to 18.9 percent. Order intake climbed 12 percent year over year, and the quarter still showed a double-digit comparison that matters more than a simple headline revenue print.

What the market is pricing

The share price finished at CHF 79.28 on August 27, 2026, leaving the stock below the 52-week high of CHF 89.14 and above the 52-week low of CHF 52.66. A 2.0 percent gap from the previous close is visible in the session data, and the stock still trades with a market capitalization above CHF 143 billion.

ABB's second-quarter margin at 18.9 percent is the most useful operating signal for investors because it shows that growth and profitability are moving together, not just volume alone. The same update also gave ABB a clean comparison point against the first half, where revenue and EBIT both stayed large enough to support a premium industrial valuation.

Products and positioning

ABB's electrification, motion, process automation and robotics franchise still gives the company exposure to grid investment, factory automation and efficiency spending. That mix matters because the first-half figures show where the business is converting those trends into revenue and operating profit.

Closing view

ABB stock ended the latest session at CHF 79.28 on August 27, 2026, with a market value of CHF 143.683 billion and a 52-week range of 52.66 to 89.14 francs. The price sits below the high but well above the low, while the half-year margin at 18.6 percent keeps the current fundamental picture constructive.
