Abbott makes medical devices, diagnostics tests, generic drugs, and baby formula—a healthcare conglomerate selling everything from pacemakers to COVID tests. Think of it as a one-stop shop for hospitals and patients.
Money comes from four divisions, with medical devices and diagnostics leading. Gross margin runs ~57%, and revenue is recurring—hospitals reorder tests and devices continuously, not one-off sales.
Abbott's scale and brand in diagnostics and devices create switching costs—hospitals won't easily swap suppliers like Medtronic or Roche. But competition from Dexcom in diabetes and Siemens in diagnostics is eroding its edge.
