While the pandemic caused some of Abbott's segments to balloon (diagnostics) and others to fall short (medical devices), conditions have largely normalized and Abbott's prospects will again rely heavily on its ability to consistently introduce innovative products across divisions. On margins, we're pleased to see the company make steady progress over the last decade.
Abbott has been investing in structural heart products, including the left atrial appendage closure and transcatheter mitral valve markets.
Edwards Lifesciences' Pascal device and its emerging portfolio of transcatheter mitral technologies are likely to put pressure on Abbott's MitraClip franchise over the longer term.
