European Industrial Peers Face Market Pressure Amid AI Stock Selloff
What happened
ABB shares fell 5.5% in European morning trade, despite third-quarter orders jumping 40% to $12.055 billion, driven by data-center demand. Siemens and Schneider Electric also slid, with Siemens down 4.1% and Schneider Electric down 2.8%. These declines occurred amid a broader selloff in AI-related stocks, which was sparked by investor concerns about rising borrowing costs.

Why it matters
The market retreat among industrial stocks, including ABB, Siemens, and Schneider Electric, reflects investor caution regarding rising borrowing costs and the broader semiconductor supply chain. Despite the market pressure, ABB increased its annual guidance for comparable revenue growth to the low-teens percentage range.
