I worked for this shit company in the orthopedic division (formerly Linvatec) for 17 years. It used to be a much better company that what it is now. It was actually pretty good until about 10 years ago. 5 years ago when the current regime of crazy Curt took over, it got way worse. It's amazing to me that on these threads people actually compare Conmed with companies like Stryker, Arthrex, and Smith & Nephew. You have to realize that Conmed Orthopedics does less than $350 million per year in sales, and isn't growing at all in the market place (and is non-existent to begin with). Conmed grew at what last year? It was like 4% for the orthopedic division. Compare 4% of $350 million to the 10% to 20% that Stryker, Arthrex, and S&N grew at last year. What does that tell you about market share and the future? And don't think it's any better in any of the other Conmed divisions. The whole company has never even been close to $1 billion in sales. It would be totally different if Conmed had any good technology that could change the marketplace. They don't and they never will. Why has the stock done well in the last 5-years? I have no idea, other that speculation that something good is going to happen. Shouldn't that have happened by now?
