ABB Q2 2026: Record $12B Quarter Orders, Rotork Acquisition at $5.5B, Revenue Guidance Raised to Low-Teens Growth

ABB delivered its strongest quarter on record — $12 billion in orders and $9.5 billion in revenues — driven by triple-digit data center order growth in Electrification and broad-based demand across all three business areas. The company simultaneously announced its largest M&A move in recent years: an offer to acquire UK actuator leader Rotork for approximately $5.5 billion at 19.5x EV/EBITDA, expanding ABB's automation loop from sensing and control into actuation. Management raised full-year comparable revenue growth guidance to 'low double-digit to low teens,' signaling conviction that record backlog of $30 billion converts at pace as newly commissioned capacity comes online.
