Abbott Laboratories (ABT), one of the major players in the
pharmaceutical and
medical devices market, has been catching the attention of investors. The company has a strong
institutional ownership of around
79%, and its
financial performance has shown potential for attractive prospects. Abbott's
Q1 earnings have also been a focus, with projections indicating promising results. Despite minor dips, the
fundamentals remain strong, reflecting the positive returns to shareholders over the years. The medical devices, particularly the heart valve device, show
promising results. Though faced with some legal concern,
Jim Cramer expressed confidence in the company's position. Yet, some insiders have reportedly sold a considerable amount of stock. Some analysts point towards avoidable weaknesses whereas, others view it as a potential buy.
Abbott's dividend growth has been lauded, bringing it into the spotlight among
'Dividend Aristocrats'. The company's
stock performance has been fluctuating, with stocks sliding after a retrial on baby formula. However, positive results from the
TRILUMINATE Trial saw the stock rise again.
