Over on CAPS, 1,632 of the 1,678 members who have rated ABB -- some 97% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include All-Star kirkydu, who is ranked in the top 1% of our community, and A6EIntruder.

In May, kirkydu noted that "ABB is highly leveraged to the power grid and industrial buildouts in developing markets." Our CAPS All-Star concludes: "The low price is currently a very short term opportunity to load up on a great company with a great balance sheet that is going to generate huge revenues the next decade."

In a more recent pitch from last month, A6EIntruder elaborates:

ABB makes robotics systems, circuit breakers (of the giant-sized sort), power control and distro systems. They are also active in manufacturing consulting, water systems, and supply chain integration. ... If you own a factory, you need smart meters and power controls which make you more efficient -- ABB does that. If you are building a giant wind farm in the middle of Texas, you need a way to get that energy to market -- ABB does that. If you want to build a Big Smoky Coal Plant, you also need what ABB has.
