GALWAY, Ireland , June 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Medtronic plc (NYSE: MDT), a global leader in healthcare technology, today announced MiniMed as the name for the planned New Diabetes Company following the intended separation. The name honors the company's roots, reflecting its original name prior to its acquisition by Medtronic in 2001, and a deep 40-year history of being at the forefront of transforming diabetes care around the world.
Deal OverviewOn May 21, 2025, Medtronic plc (NYSE: MDT; $87.44, Market Capitalization: $112.1 billion), a global leader in medical technology, announced its intent to spin off its Diabetes business into a standalone entity (New Diabetes Company). This strategic move is designed to streamline Medtronic's portfolio, sharpen its focus on high-margin growth areas, and unlock shareholder value.
The market continues to chase growth while ignoring once beloved income stocks. Verizon offers a compelling 6.3% dividend yield, robust free cash flow, and trades well below its historical valuation, making it attractive for conservative income investors. Medtronic provides a reliable 3.5% yield, a strong balance sheet, and growth catalysts in cardiac solutions, surgical robotics, and a value-enhancing diabetes spin-off.
