The shares of Abbott Laboratories fell on Thursday, after the diversified healthcare company had delivered a solid second quarter, but the investors had disappointed from the forward guidelines. Sales in the three months on June 30th rose by 7.4% to 11.14 billion US dollars and, according to the estimates created by LSEG, exceeded the estimate of 11.07 billion dollars. Organic sales with the exception of the Covid test results increased by 7.5% and, according to the fact set, exceeded the estimate of 7.2%. The adapted result per share (EPS) rose 10.5% annually to $ 1.26 and issued expectations from a Penny data, as LSEG data showed. Why we own it is Abbott a high-quality Medtech company. Since possession of various overhangs, the share has dealt with how they have obsessed, such as legal disputes associated with the specialized infant formula. falling sales of Covid tests; And consider that the acceptance of GLP-1 will disturb its continuous glucose monitor business. However, the organic sales growth of Abbott continues to shine. Competitors: Dexcom, Boston Scientific and Edwards Lifesciences The recent purchase: May 29, 2024 inaugurated: 29 January 2024 Bottom Line Abbott's Q2 results were largely positive, with segment cuts in medical devices and fixed pharmaceutical sales, but the diagnosis and nutrition were determined. Nevertheless, Abbott's failure to increase his earnings guidelines for the overall year and a profit manual in the third quarter, which achieved a little below the consensus estimates, sent the share by 8%. As much as we want to defend Abbott, which historically was a fantastic operator, we cannot do this time. We like the company in the long term because it is the existing, life -saving products that offer a sales level. However, we see no reason to get in to buy more shares, even at these lower levels, in view of the poor guidance for both the current quarter and for the entire year as well as the slow diagnosis sales in China. Abbot Ytd Mountain Abbott Laboratories YTD instead we believe that the prudent step is waiting for Jim Cramer to speak to CEO Robert Ford with “Mad Money” with CEO on Thursday to better understand the prospects of management and to expect things to improve. As a result, we keep our 2 rating and the $ 145 per price goal. Guidance management tightened its whole year EPS by the center of $ 5.15 and now predicts an range from USD 5.20 to $ 5.20 compared to the previously provided range from USD 5.25. While the center was unchanged, the investors searched for a slight increase, and according to LSEG, estimates in printing at $ 5.16. The team shaved its profitability prospects throughout the year and now aimed at an adjusted operating range of 23.5%, which provided the low end of the previously 23.5% to 24% reach. Without sales with Covid tests, the team predicts that organic sales growth of the entire year is achieved from 7.5 to 8%. Or 6% to 7% in the involvement of sales related to tests. For the current third quarter, the management aimed at EPS in the range of 1.28 to 1.32 US dollars, which, according to LSEG, briefly searched for the USD 1.34 that analysts were looking for. The commentary sales of medical devices, its largest and most important segment, were the outstanding and beat estimates, which are due to strong growth in diabetes supply, thanks to an organic increase in continuous glucose surveillance sales as well as a double-digit growth of heart failure, structural heart and electrophysiology. The established pharmaceutical turnover also exceeded expectations and reached a milestone, whereby in the 15 most important emerging markets of the company, including India and China, delivered quarterly sales for the first time. The turnover with diagnostics in the second quarter was also a drag, lack of estimates and lacked 1.4% organic. And only by 0.8%if the effects of covid tests are excluded. After the call after the result, Ford said that the diagnosis of the core laboratory laboratory from the exclusion of China had increased by 8% due to the “strong demand in the markets around the world”. The sale in the nutrition segment – home of brands such as guarantee of protein powder and pediasure drinks for children – also misses. But Ford defended the performance: “We continue to see a strong demand for our brands and glucerna brands in the markets around the world. And this growing demand is driven by consumers who are looking for a source of full and balanced diet, especially for those who concentrate on protein-rich diets and meet nutritional needs for the treatment of diabetes.” Protein powder and safe are good for building muscles, which is an advantage for patients who take GLP-1 diabetes and obesity medication. These drugs from the name Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk like colleagues like his colleague are great for weight loss – but together with fat, the patients also lose muscles. NEC rights disputes about ongoing legal disputes about Abbott's special formula for early infants repeated their attitude. The special baby formula in question in hospitals is supplied with early infants in newborn intensive stations (Nicus) for newborns. It is often one of the only ways to feed these babies. The lawsuits come from victims who claimed that Abbott had not properly warned patients against the risks of NEC (necrotizing enterocolitis), a serious intestinal disease. Abbott said there is no scientific evidence that the product causes or contributes. If the supervisory authorities need measures for the product, Abbott will comply with Ford. He added that decisions about “how one should be the most endangered doctors and neonatologists and not lawyers in court halls”. He also noted that the specialized premium formula has been on the market for a long time, but is only a small part of Abbott's income.
