Abbott Laboratories backed its full-year outlook after posting higher sales in the third quarter, boosted by sales of its nutrition shakes and drinks for adults.

The healthcare-products maker on Wednesday posted a profit of $1.64 billion, or 94 cents a share, roughly flat from a year ago.

Stripping out one-time items, adjusted earnings were $1.30 a share, in line with analyst expectations, according to FactSet.

Sales rose 6.9% to $11.37 billion, also in line with Wall Street models.

The company said growth in the quarter was led by adult nutrition, where sales increased 5.8%, led by its Ensure nutritional shakes and drinks.

For the year, Abbott narrowed its adjusted earnings outlook to $5.12 to $5.18 a share, compared with a prior view of $5.10 to $5.20 a share. It backed its organic sales growth forecast of 6% to 7% when including Covid-19 testing-related sales.
