ABB LTD. ADRs $23 – New York symbol ABB

ABB LTD. ADRs $23 (New York symbol ABB; Conservative Growth Portfolio, Manufacturing & Industry sector; ADRs outstanding: 2.3 billion; Market cap: $52.9 billion; Price-to-sales ratio: 1.3; Dividend yield: 3.5%; TSINetwork Rating: Above Average; www.abb.com) makes transformers, transmission systems and circuit breakers for electrical utilities. The Switzerland-based firm also produces automation systems and robotics that industrial clients use to improve their productivity.

The company has developed new technology that will let its cables transmit up to 2,600 megawatts of electricity. That’s more than double what today’s highvoltage lines can carry. Demand for these new cables should be strong, particularly from operators of offshore wind farms and oil and gas drilling platforms.

ABB is a buy.
