Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Stryker stock:

• 1. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "We are upgrading SYK shares to Hold from Underperform since our thesis is not playing out as expected. SYK also announced a voluntary product recall and ship hold in its Sage Products business earlier this week. The recall was due to a cross-contamination issue with its Oral Care products and the ship hold was due to a new test required by the FDA." (8/25/2017)
• 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Stryker exited the second quarter on a solid note, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate on both counts. Solid performance in the MAKO platform drove revenues. An upbeat guidance for the full year instills investor confidence on the stock. Stryker has a diversified product portfolio. Continued strong demand for hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke products and neuro-powered instruments boosted sales in the neurotechnology segment. Stryker has had an impressive run on the bourse over the last one year, trading above the broader industry. However, volatility in foreign currency exchange is likely to impede revenue growth. Stryker also faces supply-side headwinds and has been grappling with issues in the spine business for long. Also, China might prove to be a challenging market." (8/23/2017)
