The goals, announced ahead of ABB's investor day in Italy, were an upgrade from the previous annual revenue growth target of 4% to 7%. Most of the sales will come from internal growth, ABB said, with an expected five to seven percentage points of extra revenue, while an additional one to two percentage points is expected from acquisitions. ABB, which supplies industry and transportation networks with robots, electrification equipment and motors, also raised its core profitability target to a range of 16% to 19%. The International Monetary Fund recently downgraded its forecast for global growth for next year, with advanced economies expected to significantly slow as interest rates rise.

The logo of Swiss power technology and automation group ABB is seen during the company's annual news conference in Zurich, Switzerland February 28, 2019. ABB said it anticipated low- to mid-single digit comparable revenue growth in the fourth quarter after reporting a comparable 11% increase in the third quarter. "Orders in China declined at a low single-digit comparable growth rate particularly hampered by weakness in robotics and construction demand," said Chief Executive Bjorn Rosengren in a statement. For the full year 2023, the group said it expected comparable revenue growth to be in the low double-digit percentage range, and an operational margin to be in the range of 16.5% to 17.0%. Previously it had said it expected revenue growth of at least 10% and an operational margin above 16%.

The logo of ABB is seen at an office building in Zurich, Switzerland September 10, 2020. ABB, whose products range from industrial motors and drives, to chargers for electric vehicles, will build the new factory at its site in Vasteras, eastern Sweden. The new facility, due to open in 2026, will have 50% more production capacity than its old site and employ 1,300 people, ABB said. "The investment in our new campus is driven by customer demand and projected market growth," ABB CEO Björn Rosengren said in a statement. ABB said the European robotics and automation market is expected to grow by 7% per year between 2023 and the end of 2027, driven by companies bringing back production from Asia.

The CEO of Swedish-Swiss multinational robotics firm ABB said he has been "disappointed" by the state of the Chinese market, adding he expects conditions will prove challenging for the rest of the year. "We are pretty pessimistic at the moment" on China, said Rosengren. With its machines embedded in so many major global companies' factories, the company's performance serves as something of a barometer for the health of the manufacturing sector — and the broader economy. ABB says it's the leading robotics player in the Chinese market, accounting for more than 90% of sales from locally-made products, solutions and services there. In the second quarter of 2023, ABB reported a 2% increase in orders on a comparable basis, to $8.7 billion.

Still, ABB increased its orders in the United States - its biggest market - and India, which helped offset the downturn as the company increased its overall order intake by 2%. Chief Executive Bjorn Rosengren highlighted how ABB, whose products range from electric motors for ships to drives used in factories, had increased orders from "last year's already high level." "It was good to see that the customer activity remained robust throughout the period," said Rosengren in a statement.

ZURICH, Jan 20 (Reuters) - ABB (ABBN.S) has sold its power conversion business to AcBel Polytech Inc (6282.TW) for $505 million, the Swiss engineering and technology company said on Friday. ABB said it expects to make a small non-operational book gain from the sale of the United-States-based Power Conversion business, which provides products for telecoms, data centres and general industry. Chief Executive Bjorn Rosengren said he was "delighted" with the deal which completed divisional portfolio divestments announced by ABB at the end of 2020. Power Conversion was acquired by ABB as part of the GE Industrial Solutions acquisition in 2018 and was not core to ABB, the company said. It generated revenues of approximately $440 million and income from operations of approximately $50 million in 2022.
The U.S. court hearing was part of a globally coordinated deal that extends to authorities in South Africa, Switzerland and Germany, with the apparent bulk of the fines being collected in South Africa. The settlement is the first that U.S. authorities have reached in coordination with authorities in that country. The Kusile Power Station, a coal-fired power plant in South Africa. Switzerland on Friday said it was issuing a fine of 4 million Swiss francs, equivalent to about $4.3 million dollars. The Justice Department said it anticipated a related settlement with German authorities, but didn’t indicate a time frame.
ABB takes valid detour around hairy IPO markets

The deal, which values ABB E-mobility’s equity at 2.5 billion Swiss francs, is a halfway house after original plans for an initial public offering were delayed by volatile markets. The deal values the unit at around 3 times 2023 sales, assuming far-from-impossible 50% revenue growth this year and next. The charging division gets long-term investors, a beefed-up board and greater independence, making an IPO easier when markets recover. ABB meanwhile continues to streamline its operations to focus on the core fast-growing areas of electrification and automation.

SummarySummary Companies Company says component supply problems easing furtherSays customer activity at a high levelExpects to reach operating profit margin goal one year earlyZURICH, Oct 20 (Reuters) - ABB (ABBN.S) posted its highest-ever quarterly profit margin during the third quarter as the engineering and technology company said customer demand remained strong. The maker of industrial drives and electric ship motors said on Thursday its core operating profit margin increased by 1.5 percentage points to 16.6%, the highest since the Swiss company was founded in 1988. The profit margin improvement brought the year to date figure to 15.5%, and meant ABB is likely to achieve its target of hitting 15% this year - one year early. "We delivered high order growth, a strong top-line development and a historically high margin," Chief Executive Bjorn Rosengren said in a statement. Rosengren's strategy has led to selling non-core businesses, like the mechanical power transmission business Dodge, and also spinning off its turbocharging business Accelleron to shareholders.
