AbbVie
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in AbbVie for these reasons:

AbbVie has a high price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 85.08, which may indicate that the stock is overvalued compared to its earnings, potentially leading to a price correction.

Despite a strong consensus rating, five analysts have rated the stock as a hold, indicating some uncertainty about its future performance.
