ABB stock (ISIN CH0012221716) closed at CHF 80.98 on September 18, 2026, up 1.8 percent from CHF 79.52. AD HOC NEWS reported on September 20, 2026 that ABB lifted its full-year 2026 revenue outlook to low double-digit to low-teens percentage growth.
Margins and sales
That same report said Q2 2026 revenue was CHF 7.51 billion and operational EBITA margin reached 20.2 percent. It also said 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.
The revenue increase of 2.7 percent and the margin above 20 percent show why the market focused on execution, not just the share price. The reported guidance upgrade gives investors a second number to watch when the next update lands.
Buybacks and timing
According to AD HOC NEWS, ABB also plans to publish third-quarter 2026 results on October 20, 2026. The same report described accelerating buybacks, which adds another support factor to the current narrative around the stock.
