As of FY2026 Q1, the Tellvest earnings-call sentiment score for Abbott Laboratories (ABT) is 6/10.
Abbott grew 3.7% on a comparable basis with adjusted EPS of $1.15 up 6%, as the Exact Sciences acquisition added a cancer diagnostics platform while the EP franchise accelerated with dual PFA catheter launches. CGM growth moderated to 7.5% on tender delays and tough comparisons, though the underlying adoption trajectory remained intact.

On August 20, 2026, Abbott entered agreements to resolve the Gill lawsuit (a July 2024 Missouri jury awarded $495M, affirmed on appeal in May 2026, ~$600M with interest) plus NEC claims for approximately 2,000 additional infants for an aggregate of about $670 million. Abbott framed the agreements as a compromise of disputed claims, not an admission of liability, and a constructive step toward substantially resolving the necrotizing enterocolitis litigation.
