Abbott price target lowered to $125 from $154 at Citi 06:24 ABT Citi analyst Joanne Wuensch lowered the firm's price target on Abbott to $125 from $154 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. Market multiples are contracting due to higher inflation, slowing growth, and rising interest rates, Wuensch tells investors in a research note. What we don't know yet is how far the derating will go and where does medical technology shake out, balancing an elective procedure recovery with macro headwinds, says the analyst. "When is the right time to catch a falling knife? If recent history is any suggestion, the answer could be 'soon,'" writes Wuensch.

Apparel resale market forecast is forecast to boom in next few years
May 17, 2022 6:58 AM ETThredUp Inc. (TDUP)FTCH, RENT, REAL, POSH, SFIX

ThredUP (NASDAQ:TDUP) released the results of the 2022 Resale Report conducted by third-party retail analytics firm GlobalData.

The study forecast that the U.S. secondhand market is expected to more than double by 2026 to reaching $82 billion.

The global secondhand apparel market is seen growing by 127% by 2026, which is a rate 3X faster than the global apparel market overall. Resale is expected to grow 16X faster than the broader retail clothing sector by 2026.

Technology and online marketplaces are said to be driving the growth of the U.S. secondhand market. Online resale is the fastest-growing sector of secondhand and is expected to grow nearly 4X by 2026. About 50% of total secondhand dollars are expected to come from online resale by 2024.

In a survey of consumers, 70% of respondents said it is easier to shop secondhand now than it was 5 years ago.

Looking at the inflationary environment, 58% of consumers indicate secondhand has helped them in some way during a time of inflation and 80% of consumers are buying the same or more secondhand apparel items. 41% of consumers said when they shop for apparel, secondhand is the first place they look.

"Resale has emerged from the pandemic in an extremely strong position. More consumers are shopping secondhand, growth has accelerated, and the interest from traditional retailers has soared," noted GlobalData Managing Director Neil Saunders.

  • In addition, the FDA said it would not object if domestic manufacturers were to distribute product that was made for export.
  • "The agency intends to prioritize submissions for products that can demonstrate the safety and nutritional adequacy and have the largest volume of product available and/or those who can get product onto U.S. shelves the quickest," the FDA said, adding it is already in discussions with some companies.
  • On May 12, President Biden met with officials from the country's four largest formula manufacturers, Abbott (NYSE:ABT), Reckitt Benckiser (OTCPK:RBGPF) (OTCPK:RBGLY), Perrigo (NYSE:PRGO), and Gerber Products of Nestle (OTCPK:NSRGY) (OTCPK:NSRGF) to address the ongoing issue.

Electricity is just a fad
So said Junius Morgan to his son J.P. Morgan. J.P. had hired Thomas Edison to wire up his mansion, making it the first private residence in New York to have electric lighting. Luckily for his bank account, J.P. Morgan didn’t listen to dad, and invested heavily in Edison, eventually financing General Electric.
