As the new year approaches, the healthcare sector is under scrutiny for its potential to outperform other equities. While the industry's overall trajectory remains uncertain, several key healthcare stocks are emerging as compelling investment opportunities for 2026.
AbbVie stands out as a strong contender, particularly for income-focused investors. This pharmaceutical giant is a distinguished Dividend King, marked by an impressive 54-year streak of consecutive dividend increases. Its robust business model supports consistent revenue and earnings, driven by successful products like Skyrizi and Rinvoq.
