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 60.81, which may indicate that the stock is overvalued compared to its earnings, potentially leading to a price correction.
The company has a debt-to-equity ratio of 9.64, suggesting a high level of debt relative to equity, which could pose risks in times of economic downturns.
Recent price target reductions by analysts, with Citigroup lowering its target from $226.00 to $215.00, may indicate a bearish outlook on the stock's future performance.
AbbVie’s stock has shown volatility, with a recent trading range between a twelve-month low of $151.29 and a high of $207.32, which could deter risk-averse investors.
Concerns about the sustainability of revenue growth, as the company faces competition and potential patent expirations on key products, could impact future earnings.
