1203 ET - Stryker is positioned for continued growth following a fourth-quarter performance that topped expectations, J.P. Morgan analysts say in a research note. The medical technology firm beat Wall Street estimates for sales and profit, fueled largely by its dominant market share across its MedSurg franchise and hospitals adopting cyclical upgrades to its Mako 4 surgical robots. While the company expects $200 million in new tariff costs in early 2026, management says double-digit growth remains possible. With a healthy order book, the analysts remain bullish that Stryker's strong fundamentals will outweigh near-term headwinds. Stryker is up 3%. (amira.mckee@wsj.com)
