Cameron Hurst Stryker Corp. SYK-N COMMENT Aug 07, 2018

73% of their business comes from the U.S. with the rest from Europe and emerging markets. They make great surgical products (i.e. hip replacements). Also, surgeons are loyal to SYK products and rarely change brand. Aging demographics and foreign markets offer growth.

Good products, good reputation. Good long-term investment in the medical device area. If you own it, keep holding. Her exposure to the space is via ABT and JNJ.

Such an important area. Fell during Covid because classified as "elective" surgeries, but they aren't, as they help maintain quality of life without medication. Lots of opportunity to grow in EMs. Lots of free cashflow, which can be used for acquisitions.

They will buy Inari Medical which largely treats a condition called VTE (impacts 900,000 Americans), which will enhance SYK's neuro-vascular business. He likes this deal.

It is a great company, well run, and a core holding. They execute very well on the orthopedic side and is one of the leaders. Five years ago they launched the robotic assisted surgery component which is performing very well. He sees it as a double digit compounder.

It's the best in medical devices. Tailwinds are the aging demographic and rising elective surgeries coming back.

It produces medical devices which is a good business to be in. The aging population needs their products and there is a backlog from Covid. Their products change the quality of life and reduce hospital stays to a couple of days. 71% of its business comes from the U.S. and there is lots of growth internationally.

Owned in the past, but now he owns BSX. Likes the sector, not getting hit as hard today as many other things. Aging population will propel demand for medical devices.

Down along with the market. About 73% of revenues from US; rest is from other parts of the world, so lots of growth internationally. Very strong demographic play. Great company.

5-year performance is 15%, creates returns on ROIC, well run, quality.
