The 1-year total shareholder return of 51.26% and 3-year total shareholder return of 153.88% show that long term holders have already seen very strong gains. The Roman telescope milestone therefore arrives at a time when momentum has been robust overall rather than just a short term reaction to the latest news.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">Scan beyond ABB&#8217;s space-focused momentum to review a curated group of power and grid infrastructure opportunities through our <a href=\"https:\/\/simplywall.st\/discover\/investing-ideas\/473750\/power-grid-technology-stocks\/global?utm_medium=finance_user&amp;utm_campaign=cta_screener_power_grid&amp;utm_source=yahoo&amp;blueprint=4733722\" data-ylk=\"slk:38%20power%20grid%20technology%20and%20infrastructure%20stocks;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;source:content-canvas%20default\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;38 power grid technology and infrastructure stocks&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yTrafficOrigin&quot;:&quot;content-canvas default&quot;}\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">38 power grid technology and infrastructure stocks<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">ABB&#8217;s share price has already moved on the Roman telescope story, so the choice now is whether to accept today&#8217;s CHF80.10 entry or wait for a pullback.
