Shares of Abbott Laboratories (ABT) are now down more than 22% in 2026. The medical device maker and healthcare products and services provider got no help from its Q1 earnings release. But we continue to think very highly of Abbott and its strong financial position, writes John Buckingham, editor of The Prudent Speculator.
