$MBOT 100% buy rating with an analyst PT of $20! SI has recently spiked and MBOT quickly moved up to #2 spot on Fintel and has not squeezed yet! It had a recent pop due to the partnership with SYK, a $100 billion mkt cap medicinal tech company, one of the biggest in it’s sector! 🚀🚀

🦍🦍🦍 Wasn't expecting this after ending yesterday down 44%. Thanks SYK for sending VCRA 🚀🚀🚀
Can Someone explain why $SYK price movement seems so strange?

This is probably one of the better uses of AI for investing: not "tell me what to buy," but "teach me what questions to ask." The move I would make is to turn every company into the same repeatable checklist, so the AI does not just produce a nice essay. Something like: - what would make this thesis wrong - what metric matters most this quarter - what is consensus already pricing in - what are the boring risks I am ignoring - what would make me wait instead of buy Then save the answer before you act. The saved thesis matters because future-you can grade whether the reasoning was good or just sounded good. Biased because we are building milo, but that is the direction I think investing AI goes: agents with visible research, trades, diary, and a record you can judge, not black-box stock tips. https://app.andmilo.com/?code=@milo4reddit For SYK specifically I would use AI to compare the bull case against the next earnings risk, reimbursement/capex cycles, and valuation versus other medtech names. Not as a final answer, more like a research assistant that is forced to show its work.
ISRG — Quick DD $402 · ~51x P/E · $142B cap · near 52-wk low Business: Robotic surgery leader (da Vinci). ~60% recurring "razor-blade" revenue, wide moat (installed base + surgeon switching costs). Good: Revenue $4.4B→$10B since 2020, growth accelerating to +21% (2025); 18% procedure growth; best-in-class margins, net cash. Bad: Down 33% from highs on (1) valuation reset from ~70x, (2) growth decel (2026 guide +13-15%), (3) real competition arriving (Medtronic Hugo, J&J Ottava). Still priciest in its peer group (vs SYK 36x, MDT 22x). Verdict: Quality compounder, fairer-but-not-cheap. Business is intact (the premium came out, not the fundamentals). Competitors have the hardware but haven't breached the moat. Accumulate on weakness if you believe the moat holds — not a screaming bargain. Watch Hugo/Ottava share trends.
Happy with how things are but something doesn’t feel right. Although not by design, portfolio is all in on the multi dimensional AI boom. Any suggestions for Mid or Large Cap companies that could act as a hedge to this? I can think of Nintendo (anti RAM bubble) , SAFRAN & TDG , Medical Devices (ISRG, SYK, BSX) .
SYK is undervalued in my opinion but I am biased working in the medical field. Thoughts?
Look at SYK. HUM and UNH recovered
The issue I have across the board is that medtech is as out of favor as software. You mention Resmed, but look at the YTD for ABT, MDT, SYK, ISRG, BSX, etc. Given that, if earnings aren't great then people are selling. Cheap has to be cheaper than before in this market if something doesn't have an appealing narrative around it and/or has some degree of various headwinds.

I'm taking my money to SYK. Great undervalued stock right now.
People keep talking about software having a bad year, but medtech is having a pretty lousy year as well. It's just not just ABT - SYK, BSX, MEDT, ISRG, etc. The last ABT quarter wasn't very good but I think the issue becomes with something like this is that in this market, if something has issues, it gets sold and sold some more/cheap gets cheaper than before. This is a market where people are piling into anything with a narrative, anything that doesn't just doesn't have buyers.
I’m bullish on SYK
Anyone take a look at SYK? Been taking dump after dump since the cyber attack
Calls on HCA and SYK, because someone’s getting an L4/L5 herniation or pars fracture
I’m already very long on SYK, RMD and DXCM. ADBE has fallen so far it’s now on my watchlist. I’ve never seen the appeal of MSFT, and still don’t. But I invest in stability. And at the moment the world is more unstable than it has ever been in my lifetime. I’ve done some judicious trimming, and have a decent amount set aside for when I feel comfortable buying again. But I’m not buying anything right now.
Ortho is a small segment for SYK. It’s huge for SGRY, and even a partial disruption could hamstring their quarter.
Right on man. Invest your $ how you want. I’m just trying to share with you Stryker is fine. The redundancy in systems will be fine. And the legion of commission sales reps are already out with scanners rebuilding the database. I’m telling you this as someone who did it for a long time. We had something similar happen (not hacking but data leak and delete) I had 4 hospitals scanned in in a day and a half. This is the reason SYK stock barely moved.
man, this is wild. a $5.5B drop in one day is no joke. can’t believe those oil tensions are causing this ripple effect. SYK was looking solid, but now with their ops halted, it’s gonna be a rough ride. wonder how long it'll take them to get back on track... or if they'll bounce back at all. you think they’ll recover quickly once things stabilize?
geopolitical risk is so underpriced in equities until suddenly it isn't.. SYK is a case study happening in real time
Congrats on those whose third eye opened and they bought puts on SYK yesterday. Near-term ATM puts are up 8x.
Guys is anyone making money on SYK rn?
SYK massive cyber attack by Iran
So you're saying invest in SYK?
Inari was.such a good acquisition. Been waiting for a good buying opportunity for SYK. It's at a 6-month low and may be going lower. I'm averaging in now.
Some of my highest conviction positions I haven't seen mentioned: SYK - for surgical robotics & med tech ABBV - drug portfolio & discovery AMAT - semiconductor tech TSM - the best semiconductor fab CRWV - complex AI infrastructure
Appreciate ur response w jargon. I primarily do Mag7 names, $SPX but occasionally companies I like and see solid flow to like $STZ & $SYK. I do think having a more forgiving min such as $100 makes a lot of sense. I was primarily a put seller for years and ur right, obligations are a bitch lol. For some reason I deal better w/ max loss scenarios of going long contracts over selling. Do you target a specific delta? I do when I am selling options but when day trading I am more-so watching price action looking to close ASAP and am operating \~ATM. I don't find it too stressful but I did have years where I would become a wreck. I am so used to 9-10% swing trades I'm finding scalping engaging and fun. How would you steelman my idea?
$Bone Biologics Corp which corp will acquire BBLG🦴👀🤗? Medtronic (NYSE: MDT), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), Stryker (NYSE: SYK), Zimmer Biomet (NYSE: ZBH), and Bioventus (NASDAQ: BVS).
I think medtech stocks like ISRG, BSX, and SYK are better than most biotech stocks. LLY has probably been the best long-term large cap biopharma. They will probably dominate oral obesity going forward too. Most small cap biotech will fail and only a few will get bought out or go up multiple fold. I wouldn’t bother trying to gamble on that as a 20 year old. VOO is fine, but would not have it as my only holding. Could use international and emerging market exposure via an ETF like VT or country specific.
Stryker (SYK) and Zimmer (ZBH)
Obvious answer that nobody has said are in the HC sector…SYK, WST, HCA, CRL, MDT, prob some large cap pharma as well
might open up a position in SYK. looks like it has some things aligned for higher growth.
There are several factors, some are stock speicifc and others are me specific. BSX is a growth play and WM is a recession play. I have wanted to open positions in each for some time but haven't had the cash until today. BSX has a huge pipeline of products coming to market (either developed in house or acquired through M&A) that I think will pad revenue growth for several years from now. WM: everyone needs their trash taken away and they have stable and steady contracts and I see them as a safe play. They have solid management, which means as much as any number. My own portfolio is lacking in healthcare and industrials (well, I'm in ETN & AME) and these are the ones I thought would be best. I considered ISRG, SYK as alternatives for BSX.
Stryker having the ticket SYK is a fuckin war crime.
SYK fucked me 
I missed the 4th question about which ticker isn't in the S&P 500 (DIS, SYK, or SPS). I knew Disney was, but I guessed wrongly by first guessing the right answer (SPS) then 2nd guessing myself.😡. Then I proceeded to know every other answer, until the end when I guessed Lineage as the largest IPO in 2024 correctly. I was so damn close.
Same SYK isn't even real 
Damn I didn’t know SYK vs SPS and guessed wrong. SPS isn’t a cool ticker name though, I hesitated and picked SYK
They put SYK second to hedge the freebies they're handing out  PUTS ON HOOD NO FREE SHIT BUCKO
who tf even heard of SYK 
WHO THE FUCK KNOWS WHAT SYK EVEN IS
fucking chose SYK 
I chose SYK 
wtf is SYK anyways 
$SYK Portage, Michigan, Jan. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stryker (NYSE:SYK) reported operating results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2024: Fourth Quarter Results Reported net sales increased 10.7% to $6.4 billion Organic net sales increased 10.2% Reported operating income margin of 9.0% Adjusted operating income margin(1) increased 200 bps to 29.2% Reported EPS decreased 52.7% to $1.41 Adjusted EPS(1) increased 15.9% to $4.01 “We delivered another year of double-digit organic sales growth while continuing to expand adjusted operating margins and drive adjusted earnings per share growth,” said Kevin A. Lobo, Chair and Chief Executive Officer, Stryker. “We also had many product launches and were active in M&A to further enhance our position in high-growth end markets. I would like to thank our teams for their efforts in delivering excellent results and positioning Stryker for sustained success in 2025 and beyond.” Revenue was flat against guidance, with adjusted EPS topping expectations of $3.87. Stock is up afterhours pending the earnings call.
Anyone got thoughts on SYK Stryker?! I think CALLS!
I'm just a degenerate gambler. If this were my portfolio, and if this is not in an IRA, I would sell all those in the red to offset some profits before the end of the year and get into some solid and boring stuff, like CASY, maybe GILD, HD, Costco, maybe some SBUX or some stocks that have dropped greatly and have potential to recover, like SNOW and NIKE. What about some SYK, since you like health stocks? Personally, I just made like 600%+ on RKLB options, have SNOW options and hope we get a good earnings call, and I think I own all the stocks I just mentioned. I'm waiting to buy some NIKE options on a red day to get a good price and maybe sell when it's up 50% or something. Only put like 15% max of what you have in really volatile stuff, put the rest in boring stuff. I have AVGO too, still looks good to me. I still have a bunch of NVDA, but I bought it cheap years ago for like $20. At this point, I wouldn't buy so much until after a dip. After this bull run we've had, I also think maybe we could get a drop, but who knows, right? I would keep some cash money just in case.

TMO, UNH, and SYK are my healthcare holdings. They are long-term holdings and have no plan to sell. Healthcare stocks are integral to a diversified portfolio, and you have made a good case for them.
My sweet spot for value DCF is 5-30b market cap. I find value there. Some stocks i catched 5Y ago: WSO/SYK/DECK
SYK, CI, MMM, A. Idk maybe their caps are too large for ya
Decided to flip a coin on whether to take calls or puts on each company listed and then flipped again until I got down to one option. Results... Monday open: HOPE calls Monday close: HOLX calls Tuesday open: EPD calls Tuesday close: SYK calls. I'm gonna see how these 4 do before I flip for the rest of the week.
SYK gonna pump tomorrow after the ISRG beat today on top of the JNJ beat from yesterday... Sector movement about to be hot

Whoever is doing the SYK buying, I thank you
Can someone please help me save my SYK calls? Like get on the line with citadel and tell them to shut off sell orders please.

SYK time to retrace this morning's movement....

FFs plus lol the old people getting older. I’m long on SYK; think about it—hospitals are gonna need increasingly more medical equipment
I sold NVDA, WM, SYK, TSLA calls I sold TSLA puts Now I have nothing on hand calls or puts ​ What should I play next? Are you holding for the long week-end?
It is very difficult to foresee the future, because events like war, natural disasters or innovation can change the future rapidly. My biggest bet is on pharmaceutical or orthopedic companies. Reason: Baby Boomers are getting older and they need pharma and also (maybe) orthopedic surgeries. I think you get the point. So even if the following companies are big companies and are household names, I would still watch these companies. Their market is not even nearly saturated. Companies to keep in mind: Pharmaceutical companies: * Eli Lilly (LLY) * Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) * Merck & Company (MRK) Orthopedic companies: * Stryker Corporation (SYK) * Subsidiary of J&J: DePuy Synthes (JNJ) * Medtronic plc ( MDT) ​ I know some people hate on big pharma. But personal opinion aside: They won't disappear in the near future.
Robotics have been a thing for a while already. See ISRG or SYK for profitable medical applications of robotics.
SYK up $40 (15%) in the last month. Pre market appears to be up another $40 (11%)
SYK showing big growth today after a crazy 2023 and earnings call yesterday
BSX, SYK, and NVS seem interesting. I want Altria (MO) to crash and burn but not sure if I'm confident on that one lol
Thoughts on plays for this week? Here are my thoughts: Striker - SYK - call - 350$ (2/16) Altria - MO - put - $37 (2/9) Boston Scientific - BSX - call $70 (2/16) or 65$ (2/2) Novartis - NVS - call - 120$ (2/16) Super micro - SMCI - stock - just buy

As soon as I saw the Stryker logo during the Vision Pro event, I bought both AAPL and SYK.
Selling $TRV calls for mad profit tomorrow. Rolling into $RTX, $LMT, $SYK for earnings run-up
Picked up SYK in October during the market dip…glad I did!
I have SYK on the list right before this one, before the final refine. It’s about 340 stocks I can send you that one if you want but there’s simply better options

Guess who sold calls on BA, RCL, and SYK friday? I seriously couldn't get worse at this if I tried.
$SYK is one I hold for the changing demographics in the US. They do prosthetics, which an increasing portion of the population (particularly elderly) have because of diabetes and other conditions. It also lines up with growing obesity rates and more sedentary lifestyles.
I didn’t see a report for this one, so I’ll take care of it SYK Q3 earnings EPS of 2.46 on target to 2.44 expectations Revenue of $4.91 billion on target to $4.86 expected “ During the September quarter, Stryker earned an adjusted $2.46 per share, topping forecasts by 3 cents a share and growing 16% year over year. Sales advanced 9.6% to $4.91 billion. Analysts called for a lower $4.87 billion in sales. Organically, Stryker reported 9.2% sales growth, easily above analysts' prediction for 8.4%, according to FactSet. Though, it's important to note, that's Stryker's lowest organic growth rate since June 2022. The strongest growth came from Stryker's medical-surgical and neurotechnology sales, which jumped 10.1% organically to $2.86 billion. Orthopedics and spine sales advanced 8% to $2.05 billion, narrowly above expectations for $2.04 billion. Stryker now expects adjusted income to come in at $10.35 to $10.45 per share. That's up a dime at the low end from the medical technology company's outlook just three months ago. The company also calls for sales to grow 10% to 10.5% organically, up from its prior forecast for 9.5% to 10.5% growth. Stryker stock analysts forecast earnings of $10.37 a share and $20.27 billion in sales.” Stock is still pretty rich imo based on current earnings and near term outlook.

I took a sizeable position in ABT on its recent drop. Really hoping for good results tomorrow. I think there was some FUD on medical devices last week. I had looked into SYK (as an EE who works on hospitals, i see stryker equipment installed almost everywhere), but ABT had more of a broad range of potential revenue. I may add to it before earnings, but seeing how it goes. I have about 30% cash undeployed currently that i was planning on putting into VOO, but stock picking is more fun.
Switching costs for surgeons (implant business) are ridiculous. I think SYK eats their lunch, but they do have a moat in their business.
Wow, I guess! SYK getting killed too. GEHC really looks like an opportunity, i just can't quite get there yet.
ZBH has no moat. It plays second or third fiddle to many other medtech players. Would rather own SYK or GMED.
SYK rose in tandem with the news haha
I hold LLY. A lot of Pharma stocks are very volatile. Not so MRK, LLY, NVS If you are interested in health sector stocks, look for health tech too (my favorites: SYK and ISRG). For me there is much, much more potential than in pharma. Pharma is very dependent on government decisions and health insurance organizations. And drugs are relatively easy to copy.
