ABT posts solid 3Q14 results—57%* of sales from EM:

2014 non-GAAP EPS guidance is now $2.25-2.27 (vs the prior range of $2.19-2.29), growth of 12-13% vs 2013.

For ABT’s continuing operations, 57% of sales come from emerging markets, which is one of the highest EM footprints of any S&P 500 company.

*The branded-generics business being sold in the MYL deal (#msg-107440341) is now accounted for as a discontinued operation (although it is still included in ABT’s 2014 EPS guidance because the deal will not close until 2015).

the foremost piece of B.S. ever promulgated
in any area of human knowledge!”
