Stryker Corp. (SYK) has experienced volatility in its stock price due to challenges in the healthcare sector and a recent cybersecurity incident. However, experts remain optimistic about the company’s long-term prospects, particularly in orthopedics, where it has a strong market position and good relationships with healthcare professionals. The aging population is expected to drive demand for orthopedic surgeries, enhancing Stryker’s growth potential. Analysts project a significant increase in earnings per share over the next few years, and while there is a consensus that investing may not be timely right now, the company is viewed positively for its strong management and growth capabilities in the medical device market.

BUY
Medical devices are a good play on aging US demographics. SYK recently merged with a smaller company to consolidate their hips and knees products. He owns its peers including Boston Scientific, but the whole space is enjoying a nice upside. You can buy SYK.
BUY
Joint replacements. Medical instruments. Great company. Issues with latest acquisition, so stock fell below its high.
COMMENT

SYK vs. Anthem He likes both. Stryker trades at 23x PE. He owns Anthem, which hit on earnings, but the market was skittish on their expense line. It's a great healthcare company

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 04/19, Up 21%) The best, most innovative medical device company around. It's come off its highs recently as it acquired a spinal business, but it has room to run. It's long grown its earnings for many years. They excel at buying small companies specializing in hips, knees and spines.
TOP PICK
A diversified medical devices company. They create a variety of equipment, including orthopaedics and robotic surgery. The company has executed very well. They recently made an acquisition that helps them move into hips, knees and ankles. There is volatility. He would enter around $205-210. (Analysts’ price target is $230.25)
TOP PICK
Good demographic growth--people are getting older and need hip and knee replacement. They just bought a company that will make SYK the biggest company serving hands and ankles. Another plus is that doctors tend to stick with the same medical product manufacturers. They have $3 billion in free cash and pays a nice dividend. They constantly buy companies, but their debt is fine. (Analysts’ price target is $231.08)
DON'T BUY

SYK vs. JNJ SYK makes medical products while JNJ also produces that plus pharma and personal care products, but are fighting talcum powder lawsuits that will persist. Despite this, he much prefers JNJ due to better diversification and valuation. But wait for a better entry point.

BUY
Diversified in orthopedics and medical instruments. Zimmer falling on hard times has been to its benefit. Not that expensive, around 20x earnings. Likes it.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 20/18, Up 22%) Demographically, in a great spot. Recent acquisition will expand their market. Developing robotics. Positive long-term.
BUY
They don't have the patent cliffs that the drugs are going to come off, and they will continue to innovate. Aging demographics will help demand. He's happy to hold this.
BUY
One of his favourite medtech names. They lead in robotic surgery. Great organic growth. They're setting up for a great quarter.
BUY
The medical device sector has been a leading group for the last three years and he has been a big proponent. They are interesting because it is secular growth. Demographics support what these companies are doing. They are very defensible because they are not tied to the economic cycle. So long as growth performs well, he likes this group. He owns it through the medical devices ETF.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 17/18, Up 20%) Hips and knees. Robots doing knee surgery. 3D replacements for hips. Continues to chug along. Growing revenue 6-7%.
TOP PICK

Medical devices in a great demographic growth area. They are developing robotics to assist in surgery. Think of it as a med-tech company. Yield 1.1% (Analysts’ price target is $201.12)

TOP PICK
Medical devices company. Great company. Will continue to grow with the aging population. 73% of the business in the U.S., 23% in Europe and the rest emerging markets. Can grow their business internationally. Very little debt. Great story, great growth and operating margins. (Analysts’ price target is $201.12)
