ABB is a Swiss industrial company that makes electrical and automation equipment used in factories, power grids, and buildings. Its main products include robots, electric motors, circuit breakers, and software that helps machines run more efficiently. ABB sells to manufacturers, utility companies, and construction firms across many industries, making it one of the largest industrial automation and electrification companies in the world.

ABB earns money by selling hardware, software, and related services to business customers rather than individual consumers. 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 broad product portfolio and deep engineering expertise, which makes it costly for customers to switch suppliers. The key growth driver is rising global demand for factory automation and electrical grid upgrades, though a slowdown in industrial spending or weakness in manufacturing activity could weigh on results.

Growth + cash flow

ABB is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 10%. The Winston Score doesn't fully credit this transition from "burner" to "earner."
