The company posted its highest fourth-quarter orders in five years and announced a ₹29.59 dividend.By Sheersh Kapoor  February 19, 2026, 6:12:04 PM IST (Published)2 Min ReadABB India Ltd reported revenue growth above estimates for the quarter ended December 2025, though profitability remained under pressure due to higher input and labour costs. The results were announced after market hours on Thursday.

Revenue rose 5.7% year-on-year to ₹3,557 crore, exceeding the CNBC-TV18 poll estimate of ₹3,436.2 crore. However, net profit declined 18% to ₹433 crore from ₹528 crore a year earlier, missing the estimate of ₹442.6 crore.

EBITDA fell 17% to ₹545.6 crore compared with ₹656.7 crore in the corresponding quarter last year. Operating margin contracted sharply to 15.3% from 19.5%, and was below the 16% estimate.

The company said profitability was impacted by material-cost inflation and higher labour expenses, including costs linked to new labour codes. Despite margin pressures, order momentum strengthened significantly.

Fourth-quarter orders surged 52%, marking the highest Q4 order intake in five years, supported by broad-based demand and the timing of certain large orders.

For calendar year 2025, ABB India reported its highest-ever orders at ₹14,115 crore and revenue of ₹13,203 crore, both up 8% year-on-year. Profit before tax margin stood at 16.9% for the year, while return on capital employed was 21%.

Managing Directorev Sharma, Managing Director, said the company’s record order book and revenues reflected disciplined execution, even as volatile input costs weighed on margins.

The board recommended a final dividend of ₹29.59 per share for the year ended December 31, 2025, subject to shareholder approval.Continue ReadingTagsABB IndiaearningsQ4 resultsshare market today
