Abbott Q1: Flexible Supply Chain And Strong Growth In Medical Devices
Summary I reiterate a "Strong Buy" rating on Abbott Laboratories, driven by strong growth in medical device and pharma markets, with a fair value of $160 per share. Abbott reported 6.9% organic revenue growth and 8.3% growth excluding COVID testing, driven by 12.6% growth in medical devices and 7.8% in pharma. Abbott's diversified global supply chain and 25 new products in the pipeline position it well to navigate tariff impacts and drive future growth. Despite geopolitical risks in China, Abbott's cost management and margin expansion support the ABT stock double-digit EPS growth guidance for FY25.

Abbott Laboratories Basking In A Sharp Turn In Sentiment
Summary Abbott Laboratories' stock has surged 25% in eight months, outperforming peers on strong medical device growth and perhaps market rotation to names with less perceived macro and geopolitical risk. Fourth quarter results showed 9% organic revenue growth, with medical devices leading at 14%, and improved profit margins. Abbott's medical device business is executing well, with double-digit growth in structural heart and diabetes, and above-peer results across most of the business. An important legal victory could signal lower overall risk in its infant nutrition litigation, while a lackluster trial result from a rival could re-energize the outlook for TriClip. Valuation is more challenging now, as it takes a pretty aggressive bull-case model to find significant fundamentals-driven upside. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Jan 23
