Stryker remains a top-tier competitor in a number of attractive medical markets, including orthopedic implants, surgical instruments, endoscopy, and neurovascular devices. It enjoys a long record of innovation in its key markets, and we anticipate the pattern will continue, allowing the wide-moat company to earn attractive economic profits.
Stryker made the most of its three-year head start in placing its Mako robots in hospitals, leaving Zimmer Biomet and Johnson & Johnson to play catch-up.
Zimmer Biomet's progress with its Rosa robot could put a crimp in Stryker's robust growth in knees on its Mako robot.
