In the April-June period, the value of new orders grew by +16.0%
In the second quarter of this year, the Swiss group ABB recorded significant growth in both financial and commercial performance. The period closed with revenues of $8.9 billion, an increase of +8.0% compared to the April-June quarter of 2024. Operating profit amounted to $1.6 billion (+14.3%), and net profit reached nearly $1.2 billion (+7.2%). In the second quarter of 2025, the company, which primarily operates in the electrification and automation sectors, recorded a sharp increase of +16.0% in the value of new orders acquired during the period, which stood at $9.8 billion. As of June 30, the order backlog value was nearly $25.0 billion (+13.3%).
Regarding the transportation and infrastructure segment alone, ABB reported that in the second quarter of this year, activity remained high in the maritime-port sector as well as in the railway sector, although in the latter, orders declined due to the timing of contract issuance. The group’s CEO, Morten Wierod, specified that the positive development characterized all four of ABB’s main business areas, as well as most customer segments, the three main geographic regions where the company operates, and both short-term and long-term businesses, demonstrating—Wierod noted—a solid overall market context.
In the first six months of 2025, revenues totaled $16.8 billion, with a progression of +4.5% compared to the first half of last year. Operating profit was over $3.1 billion (+21.1%), and net profit was $2.3 billion (+14.1%). In the first half of this year, the value of acquired orders rose by +9.1% to $19.0 billion.
