AbbVie Inc. earns an operating margin of 32.8%. Operating margins have expanded from 23.5% to 32.8% over the past 3 years, signaling improving operational efficiency.

ABBV Leverage & Debt
Solvency and debt-coverage ratios — lower is generally safer
AbbVie Inc. carries a Debt/EBITDA ratio of 2.4x, which is manageable (24% below the sector average of 3.2x). Net debt stands at $63.8B ($69.1B total debt minus $5.2B cash). Interest coverage of 3.3x is adequate, though a cyclical earnings downturn could tighten the margin of safety.

ABBV Liquidity & Efficiency
Short-term solvency ratios and asset-utilisation metrics
The current ratio of 0.67x is below 1.0, meaning current liabilities exceed current assets — though the company's $5.2B cash position helps mitigate short-term liquidity concerns. The current ratio has declined from 0.87x to 0.67x over the past 3 years.

ABBV Shareholder Yields
Earnings, FCF, buyback, and dividend yields — total returns to shareholders
AbbVie Inc. returns 3.3% to shareholders annually — split between a 3.0% dividend yield and 0.3% buyback yield. The payout ratio exceeds 100% at 275.8%, meaning the company is paying out more than it earns — this level is unsustainable long-term without earnings recovery. The earnings yield of 1.1% (inverse of P/E) provides a useful comparison to bond yields when assessing the stock's relative attractiveness to fixed income.
