ABB showcased paper-production measurement technologies at MIAC 2026, while ABB stock was at EUR 85.05 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026. The price stood 11.74 percent below the EUR 96.36 52-week high quoted for the same euro market context.

Paper technology reaches MIAC

According to ABB in its October 4, 2026 release, the company presented Pressductor web-tension measurement, UviTec biological and chemical oxygen demand monitoring, electromagnetic flow measurement and online fiber analysis at the Lucca event. MIAC 2026 ran from October 7 to October 9, 2026, giving ABB a concrete showcase for automation, measurement and digital tools in paper mills.

The release links the portfolio to process stability, product quality, machine efficiency and lower downtime. That combination matters because ABB is presenting measurement as an operating tool rather than as a standalone hardware launch.

Second-quarter execution sets the bar

In the second quarter of 2026, ABB generated USD 9.48 billion in revenue, up 14.00 percent from the prior-year quarter and 12.00 percent on a comparable basis, according to i-Magazin. Operational EBITA rose 20.00 percent to USD 1.93 billion, while the operational EBITA margin increased from 19.30 percent to 20.20 percent.

Those figures give the October reporting date a clear benchmark: ABB must show whether comparable growth and margin improvement continued into the third quarter. Simply Wall St lists October 20, 2026 as the next reporting date.

Euro quote remains below its high

The Lang & Schwarz price of EUR 85.05 was timestamped at 11:39 a.m. CEST on October 8, 2026. Against the Tradegate close of EUR 85.82 on October 7, 2026, that represents a calculated minus 0.90 percent comparison; the fallback close is a separate German-venue reference because the Lang & Schwarz page did not provide a prior close.

ABB's primary listing is the SIX Swiss Exchange, where the finance quote showed CHF 79.32 on October 8, 2026 at 9:31 a.m. CEST after conversion from UTC. The same quote showed a CHF 53.78 to CHF 89.14 52-week range and market capitalization of CHF 143.9 billion.
