Buyback reaches 9,865,326 shares

The latest transaction lifted ABB's total repurchases under the program to 9,865,326 shares from February 9 through September 30, 2026. The purchases were executed on a separate trading line on the SIX Swiss Exchange by a bank acting for ABB, while the bank retained independent timing decisions, the release said.

The weekly total also gives investors a concrete measure of capital allocation. The 544,228 shares bought in the latest window represented 5.52 percent of the 9,865,326 shares repurchased since the program began, calculated from the disclosed figures.

Q2 growth supports the October test

ABB's latest reported quarter delivered revenue of USD 9.5 billion and comparable revenue growth of 12.00 percent. Operational EBITA increased 20.00 percent to USD 1.9 billion, while the operational EBITA margin improved 90 basis points to 20.20 percent, according to the company's second-quarter earnings-call transcript published by Yahoo Finance on July 16, 2026.

Management raised full-year comparable revenue growth guidance to a low double-digit to low teens increase and expected third-quarter comparable revenue growth in the low to mid-teens range. The same transcript said third-quarter operational EBITA margin should improve sequentially from the second-quarter level of 20.20 percent, making execution on profitability the key counterweight to the strong order trend.

Results date sets the next checkpoint

ABB's third-quarter 2026 results are scheduled for October 20, 2026, according to the issuer calendar cited by MFN. That date will test whether the second-quarter pattern of 12.00 percent comparable revenue growth and a 20.20 percent operational EBITA margin can continue into the next reporting period.
