Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls
Smith & Nephew participates in the fast-growing sports medicine arena, thanks to its extensive arthroscopy portfolio.
Bears
Smith & Nephew's attempted shift to the lower-cost Syncera distribution model in the US was disappointing, which leaves the firm in a shaky competitive position for large-joint replacement in that market.
