In the 21st Century, though, Buick, which celebrates its 125th anniversary this year, has been a quiet spot in GM’s North American brand strategy. Last year, Buick sales rose more than 60% in the US compared to 2022. The Buick Envista introduced last summer is, essentially, a modified version of the well-received Chevrolet Trax, GM’s cheapest crossover SUV. The 1938 Buick Y Job is generally considered the auto industry's first "concept car." Last year, Avenir models, which get some fancier interior materials, more features, and distinctive paint colors, made up almost a third of Buick sales, the highest levels yet, Aldred said.

Investors may get one share in the spun-out entity for every share of the parent company they owned. What's left of J & J will be focused on pharmaceuticals and medical technologies, which were responsible for over 84% of the company's total 2022 revenue of $94.94 billion. It underscores that once free of the parent company tethers a divested company can chart its own destiny. Those priorities may not have necessarily been wrong when considering J & J as the overall enterprise. We believe J & J and Danaher are poised to deliver two more examples.

It features a smooth, long exterior with styling inspired by the brand's well-received Wildcat concept car last year. The Envista will replace the Buick Encore as the brand's entry-level model, starting at $24,495 for a base model and $29,695 for a top-end Avenir model.

Danaher 's (DHR) announcement this week that it will spin off its growing water business is a big win for shareholders — including us at the Club. In both cases, after an initial growth hit due to the divestitures, we saw a notable sales growth acceleration once these slower growth business were on their own. More good news: Danaher's management team said 2022 core revenue growth is expected to be above the prior guidance range thanks higher-than-anticipated respiratory testing revenue at Cepheid. Base business core revenue growth is still expected to be up in the high-single-digit range. Whereas, they think EAS has a longer-term core revenue growth profile in the mid-single-digit range.
