They report Wednesday. Usually, shares climb after the report, then someone finds fault with a single line item, then shares fall. Buy on the dip the next day.

Has owned this many years. She likes healthcare because of aging demographics. They made a lot of cash during Covid and have used that cash for M&A and R&D. Pays a nice 2.5% dividend. Has an established track record of raising their dividend annually. Trades at a reasonable PE. Lags healthcare, but still likes ABT.

Excellent management team.

TOP PICK
Abbott Labs

Defensive. Very strong growth platform. Diagnostic business is right-sizing now, but organic growth of other businesses is double digits. Valuation is a bit more expensive at 23x earnings, but free cashflow yield is about 4%. 

Instead of innovation, they tend to acquire and enhance, which has been a knock against them. Big wins in cardiac portfolio and FreeStyle Libre glucose monitoring. Businesses are right in the sweet spot. Yield is 1.83%.

(Analysts’ price target is $123.14)

PAST TOP PICK
Abbott Labs
(A Top Pick Mar 15/22, Down 15%)

They made the Covid testing kits which generated $20 billion in revenues, so shares got ahead of itself. The market has ignored any such companies since then, but these earnings will eventually work their way up again. ABT has given guidance ex-Covid tests, meaning double-digit organic growth. This is a long-time core holding. They're in medtech and medical procedures are ramping up (a tailwind). Pays a constant and long-growing dividend now around 2.5%. She likes healthcare as a play on the aging population.
