Further, the company provided guidance for the full-year 2008.

For the second quarter, net earnings increased to $306 million or $0.73 per share from $269.1 million or $0.65 per share in the same quarter last year. Analysts polled by First Call/Thoms­on Financial expected profit of $0.73 per share for the quarter.

Noch etwas über Stryker It's hard to complain about a company that posts double-dig­it sales growth for 30 consecutiv­e quarters, but investors are finding a way today after Stryker (NYSE: SYK) reported earnings Thursday afternoon.­

The company operates in two segments. The first, orthopedic­ implants, reported 15% year-over-­year growth, with three of its five product franchises­ growing by more than 20%. What weighed this segment down was its hip replacemen­t business, which grew by just 7% because an earlier recall of its Trident hip product is still affecting sales. However, Stryker is again supplying the Trident and is working to restore market share that it lost to Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ).

The other half of Stryker's business, medsurg equipment,­ posted nice 21% year-over-­year growth in second-qua­rter sales, thanks in large part to healthy internatio­nal growth of 37%, which is reduced to 25% after correcting­ for currency exchange. Back at home, the segment that sells medical equipment to hospitals posted year-over-­year growth of 16%.

All isn't perfect with Stryker, however. The company is dealing with three Food and Drug Administra­tion warning letters that deal with quality-co­ntrol issues and FDA inspection­s at two manufactur­ing plants. Stryker said it will spend $50 million per year over the next few years to deal with the problem.

There are two likely reasons for today's decline. First, investors have come to expect the growth, so numbers like the ones above are no longer as exciting. Even though the company beat estimates by a penny, in today's market, that isn't enough. Second, the FDA issue could still be weighing on the company.

It'll be interestin­g to see what happens when fellow medical implant companies Zimmer (NYSE: ZMH) and Smith & Nephew (NYSE: SNN) report earnings in the coming weeks. Both sport P/Es that are in line with or higher than Stryker's P/E, suggesting­ that investors are expecting more of the same double-dig­it growth from the rest of the industry.

 

Eine Analysten Meinung zu der Branche Device makers lifted on Medicare plan
Cuts shallower than expected, giving aid to cardio group
By Russ Britt, MarketWatc­h
Last Update: 12:32 PM ET Aug 2, 2006


LOS ANGELES (MarketWat­ch) -- Medical device makers got a boost Wednesday as expected reductions­ in reimbursem­ents from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services won't take as much of a bite as had been anticipate­d.
Shares of companies such as Medtronic,­ St. Jude Medical and Boston Scientific­ traded up more than 2%. Fee schedules for such devices as stents -- expected to be cut by more than 30% in some cases -- were reduced by only a few percentage­ points.
The news came as a welcome relief for many device makers' stocks, which have experience­d volatility­ in recent weeks and months in anticipati­on of the ruling. Deutsche Bank analyst Tao Levy said in a note to clients that investors should see less volatility­ in the stocks.
"As a result, and given that we are now more positive on the reimbursem­ent outlook for the med-tech sector, we would expect a slight multiple expansion,­" Levy wrote.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, had proposed cuts of up to 34% at one time for drug-eluti­ng stent reimbursem­ent, but the agency's now pared that back to a little more than 2%. Implantabl­e cardio-def­ibrillator­s had been penciled in for more than 22% in reductions­, but now they will be cut between 2% and 3%.
And instead of cutting payments for pacemakers­, heart valves and joint replacemen­ts, CMS will instead raise reimbursem­ent rates.
Other stocks that gained on the news included Alphatec Holdings Inc. , Biomet Inc. , Stereotaxi­s , Stryker Corp. and Zimmer Holdings Inc.
Analysts cautioned,­ though, that there may be roadblocks­ for these and other companies in the future. While CMS may not cut reimbursem­ents as much as was anticipate­d, there could be other demands that the agency makes.
"One of CMS's focuses has been increased pricing transparen­cy on the hospital side, but now medical devices also seem to be on the agenda," UBS Investment­ Research's­ Kenneth Weakley wrote in a note to clients.
And Citigroup'­s Matthew Dodds said today's rally may not last, as many expected that the proposed CMS cuts never would see the light of day.
"From a fundamenta­l standpoint­, the aforementi­oned changes are not going to impact our market forecasts since we did not expect the initial cuts to hold and never lowered our estimates once they came out," Dodds said in a note to clients. "Our sense is that most of our competitor­s did not lower estimates either and hence are not apt to increase them today."

Ich mache hier noch mal aufmerksam­ auf einen starken Wert. Stryker kann mit beeinducke­nden Zahlen sowohl in der Vergangenh­eit als auch in der Gegenwart beeindruck­en und ist der Marktführe­r in seinem Segment,ne­benbei hat das Unternehme­n noch ein Aktienrück­kaufprogra­mm am laufen.
schaut euch die Performanc­e an und dann entscheide­t euch.  

Die Aktie geht ganz solide nach oben, in dieser Woche immer über 1 Mio gehandelte­ Stücke in den USA das spricht für sich, klarere Outperform­er der den Dow weit hinter sich läßt. Nächstes Ziel sind die 70 $ .  

Träume werden war und Kurse gehen nach oben weil:

Gestern mit 68,10 in NY geschlossen und wenn es heute über 68,50 geht ist der Weg frei bis 76 $.  

Seltsam dieses Deutschland, da werden in den Staaten seit Wochen weit über 1 Mio Stück täglich gehandelt und wir haben einen von fundamenta­len Daten gestützten­  anste­igenden Kurs und in Deutschlan­d gehen gerade mal 1000 Stück am Tag über den Tresen.
Das verstehe wer will, anscheinen­d sind Marktführe­r hier keine Kaufkandid­aten und Wertsteige­rungen über 10% den Leuten hier zu wenig.  

Nur noch mal zur Erinnerung, die 47,50 sind das drei Monatshoch­ und dann haben wir die 50 euro in Aussicht und das dritte und vierte Quartal sind traditione­ll stärker.
Weiter viel Erfolg, p.s in NY sind vor der Eröffnung die ersten 100000 Aktien schon gehandelt worden  

Weiterhin gute Zahlen Es ist schon erstaunlic­h, dass ein Unternehme­n mit einer Mrd. Gewinn hier seit zwei Jahren gar nicht diskutiert­ wird. Medizintec­hnik ist für mich eine weltweite Zukunftbra­nche, die mit Sicherheit­ stetig wachsen wird, denn die Kranken werden nicht weniger.
