ABB

Share Buyback & Capital Strategy

🔹 Overall Performance ABB reported strong growth in the latest quarter, with both revenue and profits rising on the back of solid demand for electrification and automation products. Order intake surged across all regions, especially in the U.S., reflecting strong industrial spending and renewable energy investments. Margins also improved slightly due to better pricing and cost control. The company expects moderate revenue growth and stable margins for the full year 2025, maintaining its positive outlook. 🔹 Share Buyback & Capital Strategy ABB has launched a new $1.5 billion share buyback program that runs through early 2026, while also canceling millions of shares from the previous program. This move signals continued confidence in cash generation and shareholder returns. 🔹 Robotics Business Spin-off A major highlight is ABB’s plan to spin off its Robotics and Discrete Automation division by mid-2026. The idea is to list the new company separately, allowing each business to focus on its core strengths — ABB on electrification and automation, and the spin-off on robotics and AI-driven manufacturing. The robotics arm contributes around 7% of ABB’s total revenue.
