Medtronic Inc (MDT-N)

It's been lost in the wilderness for years, but has had a bunch of successful product launches and the stock is now cheap.

Well-managed. She likes this sector, medical devices, becuse procedures are picking up, and aging demographics are another tailwind.

It's gone from a market darling to loser, trading at a 10-year low now. It's a show-me stock, though cheap at 15x PE. If the company can grow 5%, maybe it's worth buying. They need to work out some issues first.

Lots of development can happen in the area of medical devices. Great business. Keeps people out of hospitals. These companies should do well over the next while, as medical solutions move away from being drug-centred. Prefers SYK.

They just delivered a fantastic quarter recently and has rallied 6% since then as the market rotates to healthcare.

They use AI in their medical devices; have lots of good devices.

It has neuroscience products, robotic surgery products, etc. People are getting back into having surgeries so it can raise prices. He is looking for better returns in the next while.

They partner with Nvidia aggressively, as in MDT's effective colonoscopy machine.

Demand for healthcare electronics not slowing down. Business continues to perform. However, recently sold shares - thinks better opportunities elsewhere. Not allocating capital in the best possible way. 

Medical devices, not pharma. Important area that keeps people out of expensive hospitals, improves quality of life, and reduces reliance on drugs. Great advances, which will grow over the years. You want to be in this area. He owns SYK and JNJ in the space.

Medical technology demand growing.
Surgery demand growing after the end of Covid-19.
Current share price a good buying opportunity.
Large exposure to Asia market.
Aging population also a good factor. 

Ugly chart. Street opinion is a blend of Buy and Hold at these levels. She waits to see a trend reversal before getting in. Fundamentally, 9/10. Diverse portfolio, likes the positioning. Healthcare is great before a recession, but better names out there. Ride it out until you can break even.

It reports next week. A great value name. Medtronic has been focusing on organic growth.
