Stryker projected revenue growth of 8.5%. That's what happens when you have good, experienced mamgement & investment rather than sucking tha teet.
good mamgement? Is that a clever spelling to reference mammaries (teet)? If so, well played. I think those numbers are hyped by Mako. Once a few more hospitals have Makos, and there is no marketing pull, those numbers will fall. Plus, when the knee studies come out that these patients don't do any better with or without robot, a lot of ORs will have expensive lead vest racks as those collect dust.
Ohhh man, the kool-aid is strong here. Hey buddy, Stryker does much more than MAKO and no that's not inflated. Keep waiting for those numbers to "fall." You'll only be disappointed you didn't buy the stock today. 27 years, growth every year, keep wishing. Robots not collecting dust any time soon, in fact we are looking for new ways to put them to use even more. If you wanna really get mad at yourself, ask a MAKO patient how quick their recovery was. Keep selling your stuff, we'll be over here making money when you get bored.
You must be straight off the bench of your D2 team. Stryker hires cocky muscle heads that barely know how to open a box. How do you think there is 8.5% growth? Because the Triathalon is so awesome? Because Rest Mod is bringing on new customers? Wait, the manager who quoted the 2k knee isn't taking credit for his low balling? I have heard directly from Mako patients that they aren't happy. One of the lead consultants in my area doesn't advertise his mako total knees, even though he's been doing them for almost a year. Still advertises his hips and unis, but not totals...wonder why. My dad didn't take my advice and instead got a Mako DA hip from a consultant...he limps more now than before. X-rays look crappy, and his hip took 3 hours. No BS. You, my meathead friend, have a red mustache from all the kool-aid you have been drinking. Stop believing a robot can make up for shitty implant design and shitty surgeons.
