Description: ABT Abbott Laboratories September 24, 2025
Abbott Laboratories (NYSE: ABT) operates globally across four core segments-Established Pharmaceutical Products, Diagnostic Products, Nutritional Products, and Medical Devices-leveraging a diversified portfolio that spans generic drugs, vaccines, point-of-care diagnostics, infant nutrition, cardiovascular implants, diabetes monitoring, and neuromodulation therapies.
The pharmaceutical arm supplies generics for a wide array of conditions (e.g., pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, dyslipidemia, hypertension, migraine) and specialty anti-infectives such as clarithromycin, while the diagnostics division offers immunoassay, clinical chemistry, hematology, molecular PCR platforms, rapid lateral-flow tests for pathogens (including SARS-CoV-2 and influenza), and cardiometabolic testing kits. The nutrition segment includes pediatric formulas and adult health supplements, and the medical-device business covers rhythm-management, heart-failure, vascular, structural-heart, diabetes-care, and chronic-pain neuromodulation devices.
Recent financial metrics (FY 2023) show revenue of $43.1 billion, a diluted EPS of $2.86, and free cash flow of roughly $6.5 billion, supporting a dividend yield near 1.5 % and a 2024-2025 share-repurchase plan of $5 billion. Abbott’s R&D spend averaged $3.2 billion (≈7.4 % of sales), reflecting its commitment to pipeline renewal in high-growth areas such as molecular diagnostics and cardiovascular devices. These figures are subject to macro-economic volatility, particularly currency fluctuations and US healthcare policy shifts, which could materially affect earnings.
Key sector drivers include an aging U.S. and global population that fuels demand for chronic-disease therapeutics, sustained growth in point-of-care testing accelerated by post-pandemic health-security concerns, and incremental pricing pressure from generic competition. Assuming continued reimbursement stability and no major supply-chain disruptions, Abbott’s diversified exposure positions it to capture a portion of the projected 5-6 % CAGR in global medical-device spend over the next five years.
