Abbott Gains FDA Approval for Tendyne™, Strengthening Its Minimally Invasive Heart Portfolio
Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:ABT) has received FDA approval today for its Tendyne™ transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) system, the first device of its kind approved in the US to treat mitral valve disease without open-heart surgery.
Tendyne is specifically designed for patients who are not suitable candidates for surgical valve repair or replacement. The product perfectly fits the aging population trends and the demand for less invasive treatments, implying that it could become a significant cash cow for ABT.

The approval gives Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:ABT) a competitive edge in the growing structural heart market, valued at around $15 billion globally, and will likely accelerate the company's growth. The Medical Devices segment accounts for 47% of total revenue in Q1 2025 and is the fastest growing segment - the US revenues posted 15% growth YoY, meaning that the segment is already central to the growth story.
The announcement comes weeks after ABT reiterated its organic revenue growth guidance at 7.5% to 8.5% for FY2025, while the street consensus expects only 6.4% total revenue growth. This raises the odds of positive surprises later in the year, which could propel ABT shares even higher. For reference, ABT already outperforms the broad market by a massive 17% year-to-date, highlighting its strong momentum.
Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:ABT) is a global healthcare company that owns a portfolio of life-changing technologies across diagnostics, medical devices, nutritionals, and branded generic medicines.
While we acknowledge the potential of ABT as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Q1 Earnings Highlights: EMCOR (NYSE:EME) Vs The Rest Of The Engineering and Design Services Stocks
As the craze of earnings season draws to a close, here's a look back at some of the most exciting (and some less so) results from Q1. Today, we are looking at engineering and design services stocks, starting with EMCOR (NYSE:EME). Companies providing engineering and design services boast ever-evolving technical expertise. Compared to their counterparts who manufacture and sell physical products, these companies can also pivot faster to more trending areas due to their smaller physical asset bases. Green energy and water conservation, for example, are current themes driving incremental demand in this space. On the other hand, those providing engineering and design services are at the whim of construction and infrastructure project volumes, which tend to be cyclical and can be impacted heavily by economic factors such as interest rates. The 5 engineering and design services stocks we track reported a very strong Q1. As a group, revenues beat analysts' consensus estimates by 1.7% while next quarter's revenue guidance was in line. Luckily, engineering and design services stocks have performed well with share prices up 14.1% on average since the latest earnings results. Through its network of over 70 subsidiaries, EMCOR (NYSE:EME) provides electrical, mechanical, and building construction and services EMCOR reported revenues of $3.87 billion, up 12.7% year on year.

Once again, results were driven by our U.S. Electrical Construction and U.S. Mechanical Construction segments, which had year-over-year revenue growth of 42.3% and 10.2%, respectively, and operating margins of 12.5% and 11.9%, respectively. Our performance reflects our customers' confidence in our ability to execute complex projects across diverse end markets, as well as our proactive expansion into new geographies, and our productivity resulting from the use of virtual design and construction technologies and prefabrication capabilities. Coupled with sustained excellence in labor planning, large project coordination, and the sharing of best practices, we delivered exceptional results for our customers.' EMCOR scored the fastest revenue growth but had the weakest full-year guidance update of the whole group. Unsurprisingly, the stock is up 13.8% since reporting and currently trades at $471.86.

The Fed's interest rate hikes throughout 2022 and 2023 have successfully cooled post-pandemic inflation, bringing it closer to the 2% target. Inflationary pressures have eased without tipping the economy into a recession, suggesting a soft landing. This stability, paired with recent rate cuts (0.5% in September 2024 and 0.25% in November 2024), fueled a strong year for the stock market in 2024. The markets surged further after Donald Trump's presidential victory in November, with major indices reaching record highs in the days following the election. Still, questions remain about the direction of economic policy, as potential tariffs and corporate tax changes add uncertainty for 2025. Want to invest in winners with rock-solid fundamentals?
