Abbott Laboratories (ABT) 10-K Red Flags

Risk signals extracted deterministically from Abbott Laboratories’s SEC 10-K/10-Q XBRL filings — no LLM, every finding cites the underlying data.

Detected red flags (13)

  • NEW: Restatement of financial statements in latest filing: The term "restatement of" "previously issued" appears in recent 10-K/10-Q filings but was NOT present in the prior 24-month period. This is a new risk disclosure that warrants attention. Found in 1 filing(s).
  • Operating cash flow exceeds net income: OCF is 1.47x net income, indicating high earnings quality — cash conversion is strong and accruals are not inflating reported profits.
  • Goodwill is 32% of total assets: Goodwill of $35.22B represents a large share of the balance sheet. If acquired businesses underperform, a non-cash impairment charge could materially impact earnings. Monitor segment performance and acquisition integration metrics.
  • NEW: Impairment charge: Impairment charge appears in recent filings but not in the prior 24-month period. Monitor for materiality.
  • NEW: Restructuring: Restructuring appears in recent filings but not in the prior 24-month period. Monitor for materiality.
