Abbott stock: $247,767 in shares yields $500 a month in dividends ahead of Q3 earnings

Abbott Laboratories will report third-quarter earnings before the market opens on Wednesday, October 21. Analysts expect earnings of $1.41 per share, up from $1.30 a year earlier, and revenue of $12.99 billion, against $11.37 billion last year. On October 16, TD Cowen analyst Joshua Jennings reiterated a Buy rating and a $135 price target. Abbott pays a quarterly dividend of 63 cents per share ($2.52 a year), a yield of 2.42%. To earn $500 a month ($6,000 a year) from dividends alone, an investor would need about 2,381 shares, or roughly $247,767.

Retirees swap Social Security for 5 dividend stocks yielding up to 6.64%

Retirees looking for income beyond Social Security are turning to dividend stocks. The 2027 cost-of-living adjustment is tracking toward 3.3%, and five companies from different industries were screened for dividend safety first, then yield. Verizon yields 6.64% and Altria 6.17%. Verizon's free cash flow guidance of $21.94 billion to $22.14 billion covers its roughly $11.76 billion annual dividend. Altria's payout is about 79% of the low end of its 2026 earnings guidance. Realty Income pays monthly at a 5.99% yield and has raised its dividend 115 consecutive quarters. Enbridge yields 5.95%. AbbVie yields 2.48%, but its quarterly dividend has grown from $0.40 in 2013 to $1.73 in 2026. Risks include satellite competition for Verizon, falling cigarette volumes for Altria, and currency swings for Enbridge.

Merck and AbbVie shares jump 39% and 24% in 2026 as dividend picks for a decade

Healthcare stocks are rebounding in 2026, led by Merck and AbbVie. Merck shares have climbed 39% and AbbVie's 24%, against about 12% for the S&P 500. Merck's second-quarter revenue rose 5% to $16.6 billion, beating Wall Street estimates. Keytruda sales hit $8.4 billion, though the drug will likely lose patent exclusivity by 2028. A subcutaneous version, Keytruda Qlex, may help retain market share. Merck's forward dividend yield is 2.3%. AbbVie's revenue grew 10.2% to almost $17 billion, with adjusted earnings per share up 22.9% to $3.65. Skyrizi and Rinvoq sales each rose about 24%, and neither faces US competition until 2033 and 2037 respectively. AbbVie has raised its dividend for 54 straight years, including its time as part of Abbott Laboratories.

Buffett warns of a "gambling mood" in markets; Vertex, Eli Lilly and AbbVie built to weather a drop

Warren Buffett, now Berkshire Hathaway's chairman emeritus, gave his bluntest warning yet at the May shareholder meeting. "We've never had people in a more gambling mood than now," he told CNBC, pointing to individuals rushing into short-term options and betting on markets. He said this behaviour is risky for those taking part and may threaten the market, possibly leading to a drop. The article suggests drugmakers as defensive picks, since patients need treatments in any economy. Vertex Pharmaceuticals leads in cystic fibrosis treatment. Eli Lilly's tirzepatide drugs, Mounjaro and Zepbound, earned more than $14 billion of its $23 billion quarterly revenue. AbbVie's Rinvoq and Skyrizi each grew 24%, and it has raised its dividend for more than 50 consecutive years.

Ken Griffin's Citadel boosts AbbVie stake 546% in Q2 as defensive dividend play

Citadel founder and chief executive officer Ken Griffin made healthcare his biggest bet in the second quarter. He bought 2.7 million AbbVie shares, a 546% increase from the previous quarter, and added 6.7 million shares of Abbott Laboratories, up 349%. He also raised his Eli Lilly stake by 291%, the third-biggest individual equity add. The moves suggest a defensive stance. Healthcare stocks tend to hold up in downturns, and both AbbVie and Abbott are Dividend Kings, having raised dividends for 54 straight years. AbbVie yields 2.65% and trades at 16 times forward earnings. In the second quarter, its adjusted earnings rose 23% and net revenue rose 10%. Some 75% of analysts covering the stock rate it a buy.
