By Staff Correspondent |

Abbott Laboratories (NYSE: ABT) is set to release its earnings results for the second quarter of 2019 on Wednesday before the market opens. The bottom line will be benefited by lower costs and expenses while the top line will be driven by greater return from its segments Medical Devices, Diagnostics, and Nutrition.

For the second quarter, the company is expected to achieve high productive and robust growth trends helped by new product pipeline after investing consistently in its research and development. The Medical Devices growth depended on the cardiac mapping, ablation catheters, Structural Heart and Diabetes Care while Diagnostics will bank on diagnostic instruments Alinity and infectious disease testing.

Abbott’s revenues are derived primarily from the sale of a broad line of health care products under short-term receivable arrangements. The company’s primary products are cardiovascular and neuromodulation products, diagnostic testing products, nutritional products and branded generic pharmaceuticals. Sales in international markets comprise about 65% of consolidated net sales.

The reduction of cash and cash equivalents from $3.8 billion at December 31, 2018 to $3 billion at March 31, 2019 primarily reflects repayment of $500 million of debt, the payment of dividends and capital expenditures. Working capital was $5.3 billion at March 31, 2019 and $5.6 billion at December 31, 2018, due to the decrease in cash partially offset by an increase in inventory and accounts receivable.
