MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Stryker
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Stryker Co.:

The company recently reported earnings per share (EPS) of $3.13, exceeding analyst expectations, which indicates strong financial performance and potential for growth.
Stryker Co. has shown a year-over-year revenue increase of 11.1%, suggesting robust demand for its medical technology products.
The current stock price is around $455, reflecting positive market sentiment and potential for further appreciation.
With a dividend yield of 0.9% and a payout ratio of 44.50%, Stryker Co. offers a reliable income stream for investors while maintaining a healthy balance between reinvesting in the business and returning value to shareholders.
The company has a solid return on equity of 23.94%, indicating effective management and profitability relative to shareholder equity.

Stryker
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Stryker Co. for these reasons:

The debt-to-equity ratio of 0.70 suggests that the company is somewhat reliant on debt financing, which could pose risks in a rising interest rate environment.
Despite recent growth, the medical technology sector can be highly competitive and subject to regulatory changes, which may impact future profitability.
Analysts have mixed ratings, with some maintaining a "hold" rating, indicating uncertainty about the stock's short-term performance.
The company's quarterly dividend payment, while consistent, may not be sufficient to attract all income-focused investors, especially in a low-yield environment.
Market volatility can affect stock prices, and Stryker Co. is not immune to broader market trends that could lead to price fluctuations.
