Abbott Laboratories maintained a stable risk factor structure between 2024 and 2025, with 18 unchanged risks and 3 substantively modified risks, while adding and removing no risk categories. The three modified risks focused on healthcare regulatory environment impacts on product demand and pricing, public health crisis risks including infectious disease outbreaks, and research and development efforts to develop commercially successful products and technologies. This continuity suggests Abbott's core risk profile remained consistent year-over-year, with refinements limited to existing risk disclosures rather than identification of new or elimination of previous risk categories.
