My comments (not financial advice):
If we are heading into a recession and facing a climate of high interest rates, certain considerations would be important when deciding where to invest. Namely, defensive nature, financial health and dividend yield.
Abbott Laboratories (Company C) has a diversified portfolio including pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and nutritional products, which might provide some resilience during a downturn. They also have a long history and a broad geographical reach, both of which could be advantageous in a recession.
On the other hand, both Edwards Lifesciences (Company A) and Stryker Corporation (Company B) focus more on medical devices. While these are essential products, they might be more vulnerable to cutbacks in hospital spending during a recession.
