Headquartered in North Chicago, Illinois, AbbVie is dedicated to the research, development, manufacture, and sale of innovative pharmaceutical products across various therapeutic areas, including immunology, oncology, neuroscience, and virology, establishing itself as a key player in the healthcare industry and a frequent participant in the debt capital markets. The credit quality of this bond was assessed by major rating agencies, with Standard & Poor's assigning a BBB+ rating and Moody's providing a Baa2 rating. Both classifications are considered investment-grade, reflecting AbbVie's robust financial health and its capacity to meet its debt obligations, which was ultimately demonstrated by the successful and timely repayment of this bond.
