About ABT
Abbott Laboratories is a diversified healthcare company spanning medical devices, diagnostics, nutrition, and established pharmaceuticals. It is a Dividend King with more than 50 consecutive years of dividend increases.
ABT is a dividend-king stock from Abbott Laboratories that distributes quarterly. Because dividend investing is about both income and the growth of that income, the calculator above lets you model three things independently for ABT: the starting yield, how fast the dividend grows each year, and how fast the share price appreciates. That separation matters most for high-yield versus dividend-growth choices, where a lower starting yield that grows quickly can overtake a higher static yield over time.
How to use the ABT calculator
- Replace the pre-filled yield with ABT’s current dividend yield from your broker or the fund’s page.
- Set your initial investment and monthly contribution.
- Estimate the dividend growth rate and price growth rate. For a dividend-king stock these can differ a lot — be realistic rather than optimistic.
- Choose your dividend tax rate and whether to reinvest (DRIP), then read the projected value, dividends received, and yield on cost.
