Love the company, but at a 28 trailing PE and 33 PE on current 2020 estimates with a 1.5% yield it's definitely getting expensive.
Overall, pulling your 2020 guidance and then SP running up isn't working for me. My mindset is some cash is OK now. I have so many stocks that something will surely get too cheap soon enough, even if the market stays lofty.
Agreed. ABT is at an all time high SP.
