Stryker

Stryker is investing roughly $400 million in CMR Surgical, gaining an option for a full takeover and becoming the exclusive US distributor for the Versius surgical robot. The modular Versius system is FDA‑approved and has already been used in over 40,000 procedures outside the US. Stryker aims to use its reach and sales strength to win market share from Intuitive Surgical; the final takeover price remains undecided, and the investment temporarily reduces balance‑sheet risk through a staged review of the alliance. » Więcej na deraktionaer.de

At the Wells Fargo Healthcare Conference Stryker reaffirmed its 2026 organic growth forecast of 8.3–9.3%, but said it is being weighed down by aftereffects of a cyber incident, production bottlenecks for peripheral vascular implants and weaker demand for hip implants. Supply constraints are expected to shave about 70–80 basis points off growth in each of Q2–Q4; the cyber incident could cost around $350 million in 2026. At the same time, Stryker reported strong order intake for capital equipment and solid growth in trauma and extremities, expects a recovery in 2027 once supply issues are resolved, and continues to rely on M&A, its product pipeline and the Mako platform. A detailed update is planned with the Q3 results. » Więcej na de.investing.com

At the Wells Fargo Healthcare Conference, Stryker reported ongoing production problems that are limiting inventory availability and hindering new business opportunities. CFO Preston Wells said the issue will extend into the third quarter and partly into the fourth. The joint-replacement division showed a weaker-than-expected recovery due to stronger seasonality; competitor Zimmer Biomet also declined. » Więcej na de.investing.com

Stryker reported adjusted EPS of $3.69 for Q2 2026 (expectation $3.49) and revenue of about $6.6 billion (+9.4%), largely in line with consensus expectations. However, the outlook for 2026 was narrowed: organic net sales growth is expected at 8.3–9.3% and adjusted EPS at $14.95–15.10. The stock fell about 8.4% in after-hours trading, as the tighter guidance range limits upside and investors reassess the recovery momentum after the prior period was weighed down by a cyberattack. » Więcej na de.investing.com

Stryker has announced the commercial launch of the handheld robotic system Mako RPS for total knee arthroplasty in the US. The system expands the Mako portfolio with a handheld platform featuring a robot-assisted saw and active adjustment technology, and is compatible with the Triathlon total knee arthroplasty system as well as the Q Guidance System. Stryker notes strong customer response from the limited launch; Mako technology has already been used in more than 2.5 million procedures across 47 countries. » Więcej na de.investing.com
