Abbott Laboratories has stood as a cornerstone in the healthcare sector, with its stock reflecting both the company's internal achievements and the broader economic tides.
Throughout the mid-2010s, Abbott's stock benefited from a series of successful acquisitions and product launches. The approval and success of the FreeStyle Libre glucose monitoring system was a particular highlight, marking Abbott's prowess in the medical devices sector. Over recent years their share price has varied from a low of $64.03 in 2018 to an ATH of $140.74 in 2021.
Abbott Laboratories, given its diversified product range across healthcare, faces competition from several prominent companies in various sectors.
Some primary competitors include Johnson & Johnson, Becton Dickinson, Nestlé, and Danone. Abbott's comprehensive product portfolio means that it faces competition across multiple fronts, but it also gives the company a diversified revenue stream.
