I maintain a 'Strong Buy' recommendation for Alcon, setting a one-year price target of $118 per share, even with a slight reduction in guidance. The company's new products, like PRECISION7 and Systane Pro, are anticipated to boost growth in the vision sector. Additionally, Alcon's surgical division, which excels in cataract surgery, is expected to grow by 7% each year due to innovative technology and global expansion.
