“We are pleased to close another year with a record-high performance, achieving our highest quarter revenues in the last five years. This milestone highlights our business divisions’ exceptional focus on customer connect, execution capabilities and commitment to continued improvement. Our broad-based growth has come on the back of the deepening engagement into diverse market segments and portfolio expansion and localisation for Indian market,” said the Sanjeev Sharma, Managing Director of ABB India.
According to ICICI Direct Research’s analysis, ABB would have high growth potential in the medium future if its backlog grows at a rate of 30%. With its wide range of products, ABB will be in a favourable position due to the continuous capital expenditure cycle across industries. Valuations, however, are still high. From a three to five year time horizon, one should buy into any significant decline in the stock.
