What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, ABT has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — profit is at an all-time high. Profit growth is driven mainly by better operations rather than scale expansion — a foundation that tends to be more durable.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 18.0% = 15.1% × 0.85 × 1.42
2026Q1 25.8% = 21.3% × 0.84 × 1.44

ROE rose from 18.0% to 25.8% — mainly driven by net margin, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 21.3% +6.3pp Asset turnover: 0.84x -0.01x Leverage: 1.44x +0.02x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 21.31%, rising 6.3pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 6.2pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 0.9pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.3pp).

The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to 75.1 days.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 22.35%, rising 6.9pp. That translates to 22.35 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 6.8pp, with capital turnover broadly stable; while invested capital rose by 115bn.

Capital efficiency improved through NOPAT margin — this is a quality-led improvement when operating profit leads.

ROIC 22.35% +6.9pp
NOPAT Margin 21.44% +6.8pp
Capital Turnover 1.04x −0.01x
Average Invested Capital 701.3bn +114.7bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.34x equity, net debt at 0.17x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 105.6bn, roughly 11.7% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 39.6bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower inventories.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −32.5bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +10.4bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −17.5bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 34.6 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 40.0 days, DSO rose 2.5 days, and DPO fell 3.0 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster inventory turnover — watch whether this trend persists in coming periods.

Watchpoints

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +2.5 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Receivables 26.6 days +2.5 days
Inventory 62.2 days −40.0 days

Cash Conversion Cycle 75.1 days −34.6 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.17x and interest coverage at 22.63x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 45.8% of debt, and total debt stands at 203.0bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +19.4bn. Financing cash flow was negative +28.6bn.

CFO / net income was 0.39x.

After spending +6.9bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +53.7bn.

Investment Takeaway

The business is heading the right way, but the current picture is still at partial confirmation — not yet a fully clean case. The positive points have clearly improved, showing the operating base is better than before. The brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 6.3 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 19.1%.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 21.31% after expanding 6.3pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 19.1% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at 0.39x.
