In October 2026, Abbott announced its intention to separate its Nutrition business into an independent, publicly traded company. Abbott expects to complete the transaction by the end of 2027, subject to customary conditions, including regulatory approvals, the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form 10, and final approval by the Abbott board of directors. The 14.8 percent increase in total net sales during the third quarter of 2026, excluding the impact of foreign exchange, was driven by the acquisition of Exact Sciences Corporation (Exact Sciences) and high single-digit growth in Medical Devices and Established Pharmaceutical Products. The Exact Sciences acquisition was completed on March 23, 2026, and its results are reported within the Diagnostic Products segment as Cancer Diagnostics from the date of acquisition. On March 23, 2026, Abbott completed the acquisition of Exact Sciences for approximately $20.6 billion. Open the document at this passage
