ABB reported record Q2 2026 results with orders up 28% year-on-year to about $12bn, revenues up 12% to $9.5bn and Operational EBITA margin up 90 basis points to 20.2%. It raised full-year growth guidance to a low-double-digit to low-teens increase in comparable revenues, and guided Q3 to low- to mid-teens comparable revenue growth. Source: ABB Q2 2026 results.

— 1 · The Locked Call

ABB Q3 2026 revenue lands ≥$9.0 billion — P = 0.93.

We lock a binary: ABB reports third-quarter 2026 revenue of at least $9.0 billion. Confidence 93%.

— 2 · Why it's nail-able

Orders ran 28% ahead of a year earlier — and orders precede revenue.

ABB books orders before it recognises revenue, so an order intake of roughly $12bn in Q2, up 28%, is a forward indicator of the revenue line rather than a coincident one. The company raised full-year guidance and guided the third quarter specifically to low- to mid-teens comparable growth, while our floor sits about 5% BELOW the quarter already delivered. Confidence 93%, not higher, because ABB reports in dollars while earning substantially in euros, Swiss francs and Asian currencies, so translation can compress a reported figure even when volumes hold. Scored on TOTAL reported revenue in US dollars, not the comparable-growth percentage, which strips currency and portfolio effects.
