Morten Wierod, Chief Executive Officer of ABB, discussed the company's third-quarter 2026 results during an earnings call on October 22, 2026. He noted that ABB continued to see strong market conditions, with orders reaching approximately $12 billion, and highlighted a 20.8% operational EBITA margin, which he described as the strongest third-quarter margin in the company's history. Wierod also mentioned a return on capital employed of 29.9% and stated that the company expects to maintain a return above 20% even as it pursues larger acquisitions. Wierod addressed ABB's joint venture with Mitsubishi Electric in the low-voltage electrification market, explaining that the partnership aims to enter Japan, which he called one of the largest electrification markets globally but one where ABB has historically faced challenges. He attributed growth in the utility sector to data center demand and broader electrification trends, including increased electricity needs for building cooling and HVAC systems. He also indicated that full-year 2027 guidance would be provided in the fourth-quarter report.
