Guidance cuts typically lead to immediate stock downside as buyers reassess device revenue trajectory and multiple drivers. Historically, when ABT lowers 2026 guidance due to devices, the stock trades down modestly then stabilizes if pharma offset signals hold. The magnitude depends on detail of recovery timeline and cost actions.

The move raises near-term revenue risk for ABT and could pressure valuation, even as pharma gains help offset some impact. Investors will scrutinize device recovery signals and cost actions in the quarters ahead.
