Abbott Laboratories Stock: Why Analysts Rate a Buy in 2026

Despite a recent stock decline of 22.5% year-to-date and tempered full-year 2026 guidance, Abbott Laboratories (ABT) is largely rated a “buy” by analysts due to its underlying business strength and strategic acquisitions. The Exact Sciences deal, adding the Cologuard test, is expected to layer significant incremental revenue, while its medical devices segment continues strong growth. Analysts anticipate that post-dilution, the combined portfolio will drive accelerating earnings growth from 2027 onwards, with a TIKR model suggesting a mid-case target of $154.
