ABT (ABT)
ABT is in the WATCH zone because it is deeply undervalued but lacks a reliable downside floor, making it a promising yet uncertain opportunity.
- Valuation is cheap at PE $23.59 (17.6th percentile) with a green validation flag, and the stock is 95.5% above its engine-calculated floor price of $43.16.
- The floor has low confidence: both the dividend and valuation floors are warnings — the current yield (2.99%) already exceeds the historical 95th percentile (2.89%), and the current PE (13.9×) is below the historical 5th percentile (16.5×), so neither provides a traditional downside floor.
- While volatility is high (IV rank 91.4%), there are no red alerts, indicating no immediate extreme risk signals.

VALUATION
Abbott appears cheap based on its trailing P/E at the 20th historical percentile, well below its 10-year median. The low forward P/E of 15.7x suggests the recent -20% earnings decline is already priced in. The biggest risk is the continuation of negative earnings growth despite solid revenue expansion.
Floor Engine
method skipped: stock yield is already MORE EXTREME than its 5-year peak — current 2.99% vs historical 95th-pct 2.89%. The yield-percentile formula gives fwd_div / p95_yield = 87.11, which is ABOVE the current price 84.35, making it a mean-reversion target (price the yield would imply if normalized), not a downside floor.
method skipped: stock is already pricing CHEAPER than its 5-year extreme — current PE 13.9× vs historical 5th-pct 16.5×. The PE-percentile formula gives 16.5× × EPS = 99.85, which is ABOVE the current price 84.35, making it a mean-reversion target (where the stock could rally TO), not a downside floor (where buyers would step in).

ABT (ABT) — what's the SELL PUT risk profile?

FAQ
Why does ABT show different P/E numbers on different sites?
Different data providers use different earnings windows (TTM vs forward, GAAP vs adjusted) and update at different cadences. We surface trailing P/E with a 5-year percentile rank to give context — a P/E of 30 is hot for one stock and cold for another.
Does this page show ABT's implied volatility?
Not on this v0 page — the dedicated volatility tool covers IV with multi-source voting (IBKR + Polygon + yfinance). For pure IV lookup, use /tools/volatility. This page is for decision-stage queries that pull together valuation + portfolio context.
How is this different from Yahoo Finance or 雪球's ABT page?
Those sites are great for raw data discovery — last price, news, headline P/E. This page is built for the second look: you've already seen a single-dimension signal somewhere else, now you need multi-dimensional decision context (your floor, the valuation percentile, your portfolio overlay) in one view, not five tabs.
