ABB Latest Updates

India's Q2 2025 results showed a 20.7% year-on-year drop in net profit to ₹351.7 crore, primarily due to forex volatility and higher expenses. However, revenue from operations for the quarter grew by 11.8% to ₹3,175.4 crore. The company's order inflows were down 12% year-on-year, but its order backlog crossed ₹10,000 crore for the first time in the first half of the calendar year. Recent Corporate Actions The company's board has declared an interim dividend of ₹9.77 per share for the financial year 2025. Today, August 7, 2025, is the last day to be eligible for this dividend, as the ex-dividend date is tomorrow, August 8, 2025. Additionally, the company is considering creating a separate subsidiary for its robotics business, a move that aligns with its global parent company's strategy. Long-Term Outlook Despite the recent financial challenges and market volatility, ABB India has a strong long-term track record, having celebrated 30 years of listing on the NSE. The company remains confident about its future, expecting a gradual increase in demand driven by easing inflation and its focus on sectors aligned with India's national priorities like energy transition and digital infrastructure. Its robust order backlog is also a positive indicator for future performance.
