§Winston Score History

The full picture

ABB is a Swiss industrial company that makes equipment used to move and control electricity and machines. Its main products include electric motors, robots, power grids, and automation systems. Its customers are factories, utilities, data centers, and construction companies across many industries worldwide.

ABB earns money by selling hardware, software, and services to industrial customers. It operates in over 100 countries, with strong revenue coming from Europe, North America, and Asia, and generates roughly $32 billion in annual sales. ABB's competitive edge comes from its deep engineering expertise and the high cost for customers to switch away from its installed equipment. The biggest growth driver is rising demand for electrification and factory automation, as manufacturers invest in energy efficiency and robots to replace manual labor — though a slowdown in global industrial spending remains the key risk to watch.

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
