Stryker

Quote
























Stryker reps are definetly talking about it. fresh news stories are saying Stryker is going to offer 18b. Goldman and Sachs is running the show. If all this is correct then it's going to be hard to turn down this offer.
 






    • M&A rumors are active this morning with the latest being Stryker (SYK -1%) eyeing Smith & Nephew (SNN +3.5%)
  • Update: Sources say the Stryker will pay ~$18B for SNN. A deal could be announced as early as next week.
 






Every buyout that I've ever heard about in the medical industry has only been after it has happened! Anything prior is illegal to divulge as far as I know. I believe there are strict rules and laws that prevent this behavior and penalties are severe

Everyone say hello to the corp. troll. Now go away.
 












U all realize r market cap is 15.7 billion. An 18 billion offer is about a 13% premium. Who the hell sells at a 13% premium??? The said the last 3 times that S&N wants a 30% premium. It would be the great day every for Stryker for a merger so they can get quality products, reps and managers finally...Stryker keep dreaming as it will never happen

A whole lot of Smith and Nephew corporate re-orging last couple of weeks - way more than I have seen at one time in ten years with the company.

And reorganization that makes no sense: Orthopaedics has no leaders left at all (not that the leadership was that great when there were names on the organization chart).
 






Why would you believe any of this buyout talk? Haven't we seen this before? Someone says X company is going to buy us and all it does is send the salesforce into a tizzy. It never comes to fruition. Never.
But what it does it drive up the stock price in London (of course we have absolutely no stock so we don't reap any reward), which is what they're all hoping for. SNN got a little stagnant and this will make the shareholders happy right before the holidays. This happened with Stryker now, what? 3 times in the last 3 years? J&J was thrown in there too and I'm sure I'm missing someone else.
Point is, worry about it when it happens, unless of course you have some stock.
 






Industry is consolidating - Stryker or JNJ will buy S&N - pick your poison. JNJ still has hangover from Synthes acquisition. Stryker stated it is looking to grow through M&A in latest Q3 conference call. What am I missing?
 












Sung to the tune of "Joy to the World"


End of your world, the buyouts come!

Let Veps receive their dueeee
Can I-I please be present, for the termination of each vice president

Let Memphis crumble too, all over you and you
All over, all overerer Bubba too!
