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

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.

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

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

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.
