Stryker Corp is assessed under the P/B Growth Investor model, achieving a rating of 66%. This indicates a decent level of interest based on current fundamentals and valuation. Generally, a score of 80% or higher prompts investor consideration, suggesting that while Stryker has a robust growth profile, it hasn't met the higher thresholds of excellence. Key criteria were met positively, including:

  • BOOK/MARKET RATIO: PASS
  • RETURN ON ASSETS: PASS
  • CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS TO ASSETS: PASS
  • CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS TO ASSETS VS. RETURN ON ASSETS: PASS
  • RETURN ON ASSETS VARIANCE: PASS
  • SALES VARIANCE: PASS

While the strong performance in several parameters encourages a favorable outlook for SYK, there are significant areas of concern:

  • ADVERTISING TO ASSETS: FAIL
  • CAPITAL EXPENDITURES TO ASSETS: FAIL
  • RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TO ASSETS: FAIL

These failures in key areas like R&D and capital expenditures suggest that investment in growth initiatives may be lacking, possibly hindering Stryker's ability to sustain its growth trajectory. Investors might interpret this mixed review as a deviation from optimal performance, affecting future stock valuations.
