Abbott Labs (ABT) has faced a challenging year marked by a significant share price decline of approximately 30%. Analysts note that the company's ability to deliver on its earnings growth target is critical amid increasing competition and recent struggles. Despite these setbacks, several experts maintain a long-term bullish outlook on the company's growth potential, particularly after recent acquisitions that could enhance its position in the oncology space. While the stock is currently priced below its historical valuation, analysts remain cautious due to recent technical breakdowns in its stock chart and ongoing challenges. The company is expected to report quarterly results soon, prompting a wait-and-see approach from some investors, although there is optimism about future growth driven by a stable market for medical devices and diagnostics.

Bristol-Myers Squibb, BMY
DON'T BUY
He has a model price of $57.97, an 8% upside. Good company but he sees a lot of value elsewhere.
BUY
Raised dividend 30+ years in a row. Is going to show 10% earnings growth over next 2-3 years. A good space. They got too cheap so there is an opportunity.
TOP PICK
All different types of health care services and products. 11 times this year’s earnings. Nice valuation and entry point here.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick April 26/10. Up 8.35%.) Have both generic and branded drug divisions. Making acquisitions to increase their emerging market exposure, which currently represent 25% of their revenues. Also has the number one share in the drug alluding stent business. Very strong nutritional business.
BUY
Only a part of their business is in the pharma. Biggest drug is Humera for rheumatoid arthritis, which doesn’t go off patent until 2016. Also have a strong nutritional business. Earnings have grown every single year since 1991. Trades at about 11X earnings. Almost 4% dividend.
BUY
Likes it. Patent on Humera goes off in 2016. 20 years in a row they increased earnings per share. Reasonable multiple. They are not getting the benefit of the doubt for the good work they are doing internationally. The health care sector is out of favour. Steadily increase the dividend.
HOLD
Annual succession of increased earnings since 1992 but not getting credit for what they are doing. Trades at about 10X earnings. Health care has been a tough sector to be in. Be patient and let the sector come back into favour and let the street endorse what they are doing. Street is worried about expiration of their major drug Humera but that doesn’t expire until 2016.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 13/10. Down 10.82%.) Very consistent grower and still likes.
BUY
Recently checked back. Well managed and in good financial shape.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Good entry point at the support level of around $46. If it corrects and holds at $46, that is pretty powerful. Crummy relative strength, which is a pretty good sign. Do a partial Buy at $46 and another at around $43 and a final one at $41.
TOP PICK
Diversified healthcare in the US. Have a branded pharmaceutical business providing drugs for arthritis, cholesterol and prostate cancer. Also had a nutritional business providing babies formula and adults’ nutrition. Also have stents, which is doing quite well globally. Trading at about 10.5X forward earnings. About 3.6% yield and have increased dividends on a regular basis.
DON'T BUY
The model price is $48.13, a 2% upside only. Fully priced.
BUY
Have a little less than 50% of their business in pharmaceuticals. Their big drug is Humera for rheumatoid arthritis and doesn't come off patent until 2016. Also have about 20%-25% revenues from their nutritional business.
TOP PICK
Pharma company. Nutritional division. Adult’s nutrition. Likes the diversification. Consistently increases dividend, about 3-1/2% at present. Recently beat numbers. Pulled earning back by 7%, but it is manageable.
BUY
Great company with a great pipeline. Humira, a rheumatoid arthritis drug, is their major product is on patent until 2016. Have never had a down year in stock price since 1992.
