Biotech and pharmaceutical stock have broken out to the upside over the past week or so.
This is perhaps most visible by the 13.15% gain recorded in your AbbVie (ABBV) shares over the past five days.
This week’s new Momentum Trader Alert recommendation is another closely related stock in this red hot sector: Abbot Laboratories (ABT).
Founded in 1888 and headquartered in North Chicago, Illinois, Abbot Laboratories (ABT) is a global health care company that develops a wide range of health care products and technologies. The company has a portfolio of leading, science-based offerings in diagnostics, medical devices, nutritional and branded generic pharmaceuticals.
