ABB India share price surged over 4% on Friday, February 20, following the announcement of its fourth quarter earnings for the 2025 calendar year (Q4 CY25).
In this quarter, the company reported a consolidated net profit of ₹432.85 crore, marking an 18.08% decline year-on-year (YoY) from ₹528.41 crore in the December quarter of the prior year (Q4 CY24).
The decrease in profitability was primarily driven by rising material costs, currency fluctuations, the use of imported materials related to the QCO, and the effects of the Labor Code. However, the impact was partially mitigated through effective commodity hedging and efficiency gains, as detailed in a regulatory filing.
Revenue from operations climbed 5.71% YoY to ₹3,557.01 crore for Q4 CY25, up from ₹3,364.93 crore in the same period last year. Export revenue remained a vital growth driver across all major business divisions.
In terms of operational performance, the EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization) for the December quarter of CY25 stood at ₹546 crore, reflecting a decline from ₹657 crore during the same quarter last year.
The company achieved a significant milestone by securing the highest fourth-quarter orders in the last five years, totaling ₹4,096 crore—a remarkable 52% increase. This surge was powered by strong base business performance, along with the timing of large orders.
Furthermore, the board of directors has confidently recommended a final dividend of ₹29.95 per share on 21,19,08,375 equity shares with a face value of ₹2 each.
This proposal is set to receive shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM). Upon approval, the dividend will be distributed after May 9, 2026. The board has also established May 2, 2026, as the record date for this dividend.
