This summary was created by AI, based on 13 opinions in the last 12 months.

Abbott Labs (ABT) has faced significant challenges over the past year, with a general consensus indicating that its stock has been struggling, down approximately 30%. Analysts have noted that despite the recent acquisition and overall strength in its diagnostics and medical devices segments, growth has not met expectations, leading to lowered guidance and a decline in share prices. The stock trades at a relatively attractive price-to-earnings ratio, which many believe does not fully reflect its growth potential, especially in light of the company's new cancer treatment acquisition. While some experts maintain a bullish stance, citing the company’s diversified product portfolio and strong balance sheet, caution is advised as the stock continues to experience significant volatility in the market. Overall, while Abbott Labs possesses long-term growth potential, particularly in the healthcare sector, it remains under pressure due to recent performance setbacks and ongoing competition.

They are going to split off their medical device and their pharmaceutical division. This is in kind of a Hold mode right now until the split comes through. This is a company that has raised its dividend historically. Free cash flow is a very good. When the split comes, hang on to both shares. You’ll probably see your average cost base cut in half.

Has got a really good pipeline and well owned by institutions. Great triple A balance sheet and a good yield. Screens well against S&P stocks. Slight sideways action. Company will be splitting into two components in the future. This will unlock value.

Jul 09, 2012
Will be splitting the company into 2 parts, pharma side and medical devices. Purchased a generic company out of India last year and India will be providing health care to the general population but will only pay for generic drugs . Currently within a couple of dollars of her target price so she might shave some of her holdings.

This has been one of the strong companies in the ethical drug companies. Have grown their dividend 10% at year over the last 10 years. Has been a very steady company. Traded sideways for 12 years in a price range and recently in the last year, broke out. They are going to split this company into a medical products/devices company and a pure pharma business. The pharma business will have a high yield attached and the other part has opportunities for efficiencies and growth.

(Market Call Minute.) Splitting in two. Their pharma business is going to be priced more cheaply but be careful because their major drug is 47% of this. To concentrated. He would look at the other piece when they split.

This is a more of a growth company in the healthcare space. You are looking at higher single-digit growth and you are getting it for around 11-12 times PE. Nice dividend at around 3.4%.

Fundamentally he likes it. Operationally it is performing as it should. They are tied into the European economy and people are worried about the EU economies, although their sales are holding up. Getting hurt by tax-loss selling.

Restructuring came as a big surprise. Good valuation at 10X earnings. Long track record of raising dividends. Only real competition is Johnson & Johnson (JNJ-N) but feels this one has better growth. If they do the spinoff, they will probably stick with the non-pharma side of the business, which will be the better growth.
