Mr. Market is currently offering AbbVie Inc. at $208.16.
The business passes only 3 of 7 of Graham's defensive criteria — well below his required standard.
Negative NCAV — liabilities exceed current assets. Common in capital-return businesses (buybacks, debt-funded dividends) and capital-intensive industries. Not automatically a warning sign..
Conclusion: By Graham's standards, this stock is speculative at its current price. The intelligent investor would look elsewhere or wait.
