Consumer, housing data misses, stocks sinkWall Street edges up, Tesla beats3 Best U.S. Healthcare ETFsDoing well given the backlog in surgeries. 73% of their business is in the US, but there's growth in emerging markets where they also operate. Doctors stick with their products and seldom change. Also, aging demographics help. They could make acquisitions, which will benefit them.
(Analysts’ price target is $311.03)SYK has performed well this year, increasing as much as 24% year-to-date and as high as 48% (before the recent sell-off) on a one-year basis. Its valuation reached its historical high point of ~5.5X forward sales and ~28X forward earnings. Its fundamentals are strong and it continues to expand on most metrics, but we feel that its valuation became too stretched and we're beginning to see its price decline alongside the broader US healthcare market. We would be comfortable continuing to hold this name as part of a long-term healthcare position.

Stryker makes replacement body parts with several components involved. There is a huge backlog of elective surgeries due to Covid. Also an aging population needs more of these artificial parts so there is lots of growth ahead. Surgeons tend to use the same parts rather than switching to other makes. It has a great balance sheet and may make more acquisitions to grow the business. There may be some cost issues to deal with but this shouldn't be a problem. 70% of its business comes from the U.S. Buy 17 Hold 12 Sell 1
