COMMENT
Smith & Nephew PLC

It is a UK medical tool company. It is a reasonable company but you have to buy it when it works and when it's on sale. There are better opportunities.

TOP PICK
Smith & Nephew PLC

Global leader in hip and knee replacement, also wound management. Great secular growth story. Earnings weak last couple of years. Demographic and pickleball play. Lowest valuation in 50 years, 14x PE, 12x next year's PE. Revenues re-accelerating. Earnings and margins growing. Yield is 3.7%.

Cheaper than SYK, and probably more narrowly focused.

(Analysts’ price target is $31.30)

He owns Stryker instead. But SNN enjoys a demographic tailwind as Boomers age. Demand will continue to grow.

TOP PICK
Smith & Nephew PLC
UK-based company. Hip and knee replacement. Huge long-term growth area. Medical devices are easier than pharma to get approval to come to market. Surgeries put on hold from Covid, huge backlog. 15x earnings, double-digit grower for years to come starting in 2023. Yield is 2.35%. (Analysts’ price target is $36.13)
biotechnology / pharmaceutical
TOP PICK
Smith & Nephew PLC
A UK company. They make minimally invasive surgical equipment. Hip and joint surgeries were cancelled/postponed during Covid which hurt SN's sales, but there's a huge backlog. This will bounce back after Covid. (Analysts’ price target is $41.33)

COMMENT
Smith & Nephew PLC

US Healthcare For knee replacements and implants he likes SNN-N. He does not prefer the ETFs, such as XLV-N, because they hold too broad of an array of companies, including the big drug companies that are under pressure. He would focus on the tool and device space instead.

HOLD
Smith & Nephew PLC
They're a UK medical technology company, 75% in hips and knees. They had hiccups a year ago in their wound management business, but have subsided. He has owned this. He doesn't own it now, because the options market isn't very liquid in the U.S. Also, Stryker is the leader in robotics, and SNN is only second or third, launching in 2021. SNN has similar growth to Stryker. Good to hold.

COMMENT
Smith & Nephew PLC
Have turned the business around and are starting to grow. Not a lot of debt, ROC is more than 10%. Dividend not growing a lot. He owns Stryker instead. Middle of the road in its sector. Not a leader.

COMMENT
Smith & Nephew PLC

Has owned it in the past. Primary business in orthopedics. Great company. Last quarter has been mixed. There is speculation that they are buying Boston Scientific. Valuation wise it is OK. Stryker (SYK-N) is taking leadership in the orthopedic space. Longer term he prefers Stryker (SYK-N).

DON'T BUY
Smith & Nephew PLC

Smith & Nephew or Stryker? Smith: Knows it only marginally. The options S&N were generation aren't attractive enough for him to buy. Stryker: Keep an eye on this. Their robotic surgery is cutting a strong profile in orthopedic surgeries. It's definitely becoming the market leader.

BUY

PAST TOP PICK
Smith & Nephew PLC
(Top Pick Nov 10/10, Up 2.12%) knee replacements, demographic play. Last year and a half have not been that robust because knee replacements are a little bit elective. There is a pent up demand for this kind of surgery. Some interest in the space from some of their competitors.
