This summary was created by AI, based on 17 opinions in the last 12 months.

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.

Fine managers and company. They hold the record in raising dividends by 48 straight years. Super stable. They do diagnostics, nutrition, though spun off a business to Abbvie about 8 years ago. They trade in mid-20sx in PE, and grow by a decent 10%. Problem is this high valuation, so he'd look elsewhere in this space, Abbvie, which he owns.

Two profit centres are the diagnostic testing and medical devices businesses, accounting for 75% of their operating profit. He's long liked this. Last week, they announced that their Covid-testing business has fallen off with the reopening, so shares sold off. But he sees long-term growth. It trades below 23x earnings in line with peers and market. ABT is defensive with strong growth. Offers good US exposure to healthcare. (Analysts’ price target is $123.33)

It is trading at around 34x earnings. It hasn't done much in the last year. It is where it was last year, maybe 10% up. Compared to the rest of the market, it hasn't moved. Big pharma was out of favour a couple years ago. This has now come back into favour. It is fully valued now. Has had a wonderful run. A little expensive.

ABT vs. MRK Both are great companies. ABT is the leading supplier of products to the medical industry. Merck has incredible products as a global pharmaceutical company. You could hold either.

ABT vs. JNJ Healthcare is in a more defensive space, moving up during the pandemic. Likes both. JNJ has a fairly nice dividend at 2.5%. 18x forward earnings for 8% growth. Performing decently, but underperforming the S&P. ABT is more in medical devices. Marginally underperforming since last March. 22x earnings with a higher growth rate of 14%. Bit more torque with ABT, and they're also in the Covid detection space. If he had to choose, it would be ABT.

A diversified US healthcare company in diagnostics, branded pharmaceuticals, nutrition and medical devices. It produces a lot of Covid-testing kits, which has boosted their bottom line. They can maintain double-digit earnings growth based on growth in medical devices. For instance, a diagnostic kit for diabetes (don't need to prick finger) is popular. About 40% of products are sold in emerging markets. They increase their dividend annually, for the past 49 years. Pays a 1.5% dividend. This has pulled back, so buy now.

Liked BSX better in the past than today. If there were a recession, they'd need more capital. Remains a very fine company as to products. Volumes in medical devices are not recovering as he expected. He owns ABT instead, a diversified player with a very strong balance sheet.

It has done quite well compared to other healthcare stocks. They have had a lot of regulatory approvals and had strong earnings in Q2-20. In May the sector can do quite well, seasonally. Given its success across its divisions, he would say it is a good stock to hold even before its seasonal period.

Diversified medical device company. Acquisitions increased leverage, but they've paid it down. Less focused on slower growth business, more on devices. Great quality. Positive results from Covid testing have exceeded estimates.

She still thinks it is as good long term investment in this space. Their testing kits are being widely deployed. Testing will remain an important factor in this COVID situation. They will still be well positioned. In their medical devices business they have a lot of new products that will be launched. The dividend is attractive and is increased annually. She sees good long term value.
