Financial Analysis (summary)

Updated

Abbott’s latest annual results show revenue growth alongside higher operating income, operating cash flow and free cash flow. Annual net income and diluted EPS were lower than the preceding year, while gross, operating and pre-tax margins increased. Capital returns included dividends and net share repurchases, and the weighted average share count was lower over the longer comparison period.

The latest quarter showed higher revenue and free cash flow than both the prior quarter and the year-earlier quarter, while diluted EPS was lower on both comparisons. Net debt rose sharply during the first half of the year. Current valuation multiples were below the company’s own historical medians in several measures but above the supplied industry medians where comparisons were available.
