REUTERS/Brendan McDermid/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsOct 18 (Reuters) - Abbott Laboratories (ABT.N) said the market was overestimating the hit to sales of its glucose monitoring products from growing popularity of new diabetes drugs, adding the treatments could end up boosting sales of the medical device maker. The company's shares have dropped 16% this year, mainly on concerns that new GLP-1 diabetes drugs such as Novo Nordisk's Ozempic and Eli Lilly's Mounjaro could eat into the sales of its continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices. Hurdles in health insurance reimbursement and pricing could, however, keep market growth for GLP-1 drugs limited to a small number of patients in the near term, Abbott CEO Robert Ford said on Wednesday. Third-quarter sales of FreeStyle Libre, Abbott's CGM device used by diabetes patients, jumped 30.5% to $1.4 billion, lifting Abbott's shares 3% in morning trade. The numbers helped Abbott's medical device sales that stood at $4.25 billion, beating analysts' estimates of $4.16 billion, according to LSEG data.

Abbott posted a near 17% rise in quarterly sales of its medical devices to $4.25 billion, beating analysts' estimates of $4.16 billion.

The S&P 500 is sandwiched between two key technical levels, and the next phase of the bull market can't continue until a breakout occurs. Bank of America's Stephen Suttmeier outlined the key technical levels to watch on the S&P 500. AdvertisementAdvertisementThe S&P 500 is approaching a make-or-break moment that will determine whether or not the next phase of the bull market gets underway. Since 1928, the S&P 500 has delivered positive returns 74% of the time in December, with an average monthly return of 1.3%. "Monthly S&P 500 seasonality suggests buying weakness into September and October prior to a fourth-quarter and year-end rally," Suttmeier said.

Those concerns are battering airline stocks even as earnings reports point to a continuing consumer appetite for travel. While both United and Delta said travel demand is holding up, double-digit declines in airfares year-over-year suggest airline pricing power has peaked. United, which has not forecast profit for 2024, on Tuesday similarly said travel demand remains "strong and steady." New labor contracts as well as the higher fuel prices mean cost pressures aren't going away. American Airlines (AAL.O) and Alaska Air (ALK.N), who will report earnings Thursday, have cut their third-quarter profit estimates due to higher fuel costs.

Demand for affordable hotels such as Choice and Wyndham are on the rise as persistent high inflation and recession sap consumer spending on travel.

Biden leaves later on Tuesday for a high stakes visit to Israel and Jordan and Washington said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had agreed to let humanitarian aid reach besieged Gazans. That reversed a pre-weekend 'safety bid' that emerged amid fears an Israeli ground invasion into Gaza could draw other regional countries and groups into the war. Before then, bond markets will have to negotiate tomorrow's 20-year Treasury auction.

Shares of European oil majors BP (BP.L), Shell (SHEL.L) and TotalEnergies (TTEF.PA) have gained between 4.5% and 7% since the conflict began. Adjusting for inflation, however, Goldman Sachs expects earnings in Europe to fall 2% this year.
