Abbott Laboratories’ acquisition of Exact Sciences expands its cancer diagnostics reach, strengthens global distribution, and promises accretive earnings and dividend growth by 2026.

Abbott Laboratories reported third-quarter earnings that met expectations, with a revenue of $0.94 per share and a net income of $1.644 billion, but the company’s stable but unremarkable performance led to a modest decline in its stock price.

Abbott Laboratories’ stock performance is a mixed bag, with analysts offering varying opinions and the company facing both opportunities and challenges in the evolving healthcare sector.
