ABT has been a stellar performer for decades but the upcoming splitup will enhance shareholder value even more. The pharma business will be spun off to showcase the greater PE ratio appropriate to a purer play. Meanwhile, ABT's core businesses of diagnostic, nutrition and medical devices will receive the focus of both management (Miles White will remain with the core ) and investors. ABT is not often recognized as what used to be called a "Japanese manufacturing company" with continual improvements in productivity and quality built into its managerial incentive system. The company has been hit by mfg problems at individual plants in the past but these are one-off problems and not reflective of the overall mfg prowess of this company.

Great pharma giant and medical device company. Solid, safe yield. Looking forward to see what happens when they split their pharmaceuticals from medical devices, etc., into 2 separate companies.

Looks oversold and due for a short term pull-back before taking the next leg up.

Healthcare is roughly 16% of the GDP. The US model isn't the best but for right now the best companies can take advantage of the market, technology and demand. Keep an eye on this short/mid-term.

Abbot's forward P/E suggests that they will be worth close to $90 per share within the next 12 mos. That's nearly a 50% gain. Even if ABT doesn't maintain a P/E of 15 through 2012, I still think there is significant upside. They are also considering spinning off their Rx division from their Medical Instruments division. This news has helped the stock outperform recently as well.

The spin-off move will pay off big time.

The split that is to come, secure dividend, and the stock's history of realiability.

Being an "Aristocrat" I am confident of continued dividend increases as well as higher prices as we pull out of this funk of a market that we are in,
