What does AbbVie do?
AbbVie er et stort medicinalselskab, der udvikler, fremstiller og sælger lægemidler globalt. De tjener primært penge på at levere behandlinger inden for en række sygdomsområder. Virksomheden startede i 2012 og har hovedkontor i North Chicago. AbbVie er især kendt for deres st...

Did AbbVie raise or lower its guidance?
Over the last 60 days we have not registered a guidance raise or cut from AbbVie. The company can still adjust its guidance at quarterly reports or between reports — see the earnings history and the news overview above.
Is AbbVie making money or losing money?
Yes, AbbVie is making money, not losing it. The company has a profit margin (the share of revenue left over as profit) of 9.8% — which is moderate. The operating margin (profit before interest and taxes) is 39.6%. At a P/E ratio of 68.9, you currently pay 68.9 dollars for every dollar of the company's annual earnings. A consistently profitable company is usually more resilient than growth stocks that are not yet making money.
Can AbbVie go bankrupt?
The bankruptcy risk of AbbVie is rated as elevated. Altman Z2 (a model for assessing financial distress) is -0.41 — that places the company in the weak zone. This is a probability based on the numbers, not a verdict — bankruptcy is not imminent.

Debt relative to equity is 3,918% (high). Remember: models like Altman Z2 are statistical — unexpected shocks (fraud, a sector collapse, lawsuits) can always happen. Spread your portfolio.

Yes, AbbVie has elevated debt relative to equity. The debt-to-equity ratio (D/E — interest-bearing debt to equity) is 3,918%. For the sundhed sector, anything above 150% counts as elevated — that raises the financial risk, especially if interest rates rise or earnings fall. Note: D/E levels are highly sector-specific — a bank at 300% debt is normal, a tech stock at 300% is extremely leveraged. Always compare with similar companies in the same sector.
