Stryker is upgraded to 'Strong Buy' after a significant price pullback to $275, offering compelling value relative to historical valuation. SYK demonstrates robust organic sales growth, balanced across geographies and segments, with strong demand and elevated equipment backlogs. Key growth drivers include Mako robotic-assisted procedures, ASC expansion, and Smart Care platform integration, supporting double-digit EPS growth expectations.
SYK expands its Foot & Ankle portfolio with Prophecy for Incompass and smartHEX, linking planning, implants and limb reconstruction.
Stryker's share price has declined significantly in recent months on the back of operational issues, valuation concerns, and weaker orthopedic procedure volume growth. Despite headwinds, Stryker's growth is still solid and should rebound once the Vascular manufacturing issue is resolved. Further margin expansion is also an underappreciated part of the Stryker story.
