Orders and EBITA beat, Electrification surges on data centers; FY26

guidance raised

CITI'S TAKE Neutral

Price (15 Jul 26 17:30) SFr83.18 ABB delivered strong results with group orders of $12.0bn, including

Target price SFr85.00 Electrification orders of ~$7.2bn, well ahead of company-compiled

acquired asset means the deal should be well received. Avinash Mundhra
