AbbVie rated top-quality by Jefferies amid Apogee deal and AI volatility

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

The $10.9B Apogee deal could be earnings-accretive and improve free-cash-flow yield (5.2% in Jefferies' model), which can support valuation. A positive near-term catalyst (Q2 results on July 31) and favorable sentiment from a prominent broker add to upside potential for ABBV.
