What matters now
- A high-quality business (quality 74/100), yet the market already pays well above fair value. Quality at a full price, with little margin of safety.
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (CHF 43.60). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- A fairly wide model range (CHF 20.04 to CHF 43.60) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

How to read this chart
60‑month range CHF 21.07 – CHF 88.56 · fair‑value band CHF 20.04 – CHF 43.60 · the CHF 77.76 price screens above the CHF 28.70 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 31, 2026.
Analysis
ABB Ltd (ABBN) currently trades at CHF 77.76, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is CHF 28.70, implying the stock looks roughly 170.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 74/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of CHF 41.44 per share, and 0 of the 24 models we run sit above the CHF 77.76 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at CHF 5.94, and 24 of the 24 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, ABB Ltd generated revenue of CHF 34.6B at a net margin of 14.3%. Revenue grew 18.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 33.6%. Net debt stands at CHF 4.5B. Fundamentals as of Aug 31, 2026
Our scenario range runs from CHF 20.04 (bear case) to CHF 43.60 (bull case); at CHF 77.76, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 9% below its 52-week high and 74% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at −44% fair-value upside, at −63%, ABBN screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly CHF 0.7850 per share, which is 2.7 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 24 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (CHF 41.44) versus Asset-Based (CHF 5.94). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (80).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 70 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 70
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
