ABT has been trying to get rid of ADC for years now, but the business is dropping out from under BGM. The division has been laying off like crazy, and word is another layoff is coming at any time between now and the end of the year. So I'd say ADC as a division will surely end soon.
Test strips still make money for ABT but with much less margin. Abbott management is pretty much doing what the other strip companies have done. Drastically reduce headcount and other costs and keep selling strips. Just check out what Bayer, J&J, and Roche did with their diabetes divisions. IMHO Abbott will not be sold. It may merge but not sold.
When YOU FIND A JOB TROLL, Abbott will be sold ! Looks like we're are safe for next 20 years Lazy and Stupid is no way to go through life Troll Boy !
