Description:
Abbott Laboratories (NYSE: ABT) markets everything from Similac baby formula to cataract surgery equipment and its restructuring itself in order to spark revenue growth. Abbott is a long standing member of the S&P 500 dividend aristocrats, a collection of companies with a long standing history of dividend increases, so investors are right to wonder if sluggish sales since issuing a recall last fall are improving. In the following slideshow, I include the most important take-away's from Abbott's second quarter results and highlight the key reasons that Abbott may find the second half of this year is better than the first half.
