Frequently asked questions
What is Abbott Laboratories's revenue?
Abbott Laboratories's trailing twelve-month revenue is $45.13B, and consensus projects about $66.10B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is ABT?
In its most recent fiscal year, ABT ran a gross margin of 55.51%, an operating margin of 18.16%, and a net margin of 14.72%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does ABT generate?
ABT produced $7.39B in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is ABT's balance sheet healthy?
ABT holds $8.52B in cash and equivalents against $9.90B in long-term debt, on $52.13B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
