ABB India Q4 CY25 Results: Net Profit Declines 18% Amid Cost Pressures, But Record Orders Drive Positive Market Reaction

shares remained in sharp focus on Friday, February 20, 2026, following the release of its fourth-quarter and full-year calendar 2025 (CY25) earnings after market hours on Thursday. While the company reported a notable drop in net profit due to elevated costs, robust order inflows and revenue growth painted a more optimistic picture for future prospects, leading to a strong positive response in the stock price. For the October-December quarter (Q4 CY25), ABB India posted a consolidated net profit of ₹432.85 crore, reflecting an 18.08% year-on-year (YoY) decline from ₹528.41 crore in Q4 CY24. The profitability squeeze was primarily attributed to higher material costs, foreign exchange fluctuations, increased usage of imported materials under Quality Control Order (QCO) norms, and impacts from new Labor Code compliance. These headwinds were partially mitigated through effective commodity hedging and operational efficiency improvements, as detailed in the company's regulatory filing.
