However, these are Canadian names. What about American stocks? This Clean Energy Stocks ETF collects them in a nice basket that charges a 0.46% MER and pays a 1.27% dividend.

This Dublin-based company makes a variety of medical devices, including pacemakers, heart valves and defibrillators well as insulin pumps and robot technology used in spinal surgery. The latter came as an acquisition of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2020\/01\/14\/medtronic-ceo-mazor-robotics-acquisition-is-beginning-to-pay-off.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mazor Robotics<\/a>, totalling US$1.64 billion in 2018 that <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/772\/MDT-N\">Medtronic<\/a> reported last January are starting to pay off. Unfortunately, there&#8217;s rising global demand for these procedures. In Asia, for example, heart disease is growing along with societal affluence, and diabetes remains a worldwide scourge.<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-CA\">Medtronic&#8217;s products are diversified, so COVID has had only a partial impact on this stock. MDT fell from $122 in early Febuary to $72 at the March 23 bottom. Since then, it has been fluttering around $100, mirroring America&#8217;s regional struggle to reopen as the number of COVID cases remain high in the south and west, therefore <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2020\/08\/covid-19-created-an-elective-surgery-backlog-how-can-hospitals-get-back-on-track\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">delaying the number of elective surgeries<\/a>. There&#8217;s a backlog in the States after such procedures were banned from March through May. During this period, analyst <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/expert\/view\/1315\/Darren-Sissons\">Darren Sissons<\/a> noted that not all of Medtronic&#8217;s businesses will be firing and that the diagnostic space will be an interesting one going forward. By this, I interpret as \u201cunpredictable\u201d given the number of COVID cases and the fact that doctors can&#8217;t just rush back into elective surgery, despite pent-up demand. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-CA\">The Medtronic Stock is one of the largest medical device companies on the globe. It pays a decent dividend of 2.3%, which has grown in the last 28 straight years. MED trades at a 22x PE and has a price target of $110.17, $8 higher than Monday&#8217;s trade. MED beat three of its last four quarters, missing its last reported EPS of 68 cents by 10 cents. It boasts a profit margin of 16.56%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-CA\">Will America see an uptick of cases in the fall, thus shutting down surgeries again or has the States gotten over the hump which will ramp up surgeries? Hard to say, but I wager that we won&#8217;t see another nationwide lockdown.The political and popular will isn&#8217;t there, especially as the November vote approaches.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a while since we&#8217;ve looked at ETFs, and just long as long that we&#8217;ve probed corners of the markets that involve cybersecurity stocks, clean energy stocks and medical device stocks.
