The market is overvaluing Stryker by extrapolating recent revenue growth and pricing in flawless execution, while ignoring margin compression and a saturated medtech landscape. Investors are underestimating the risk of normalization in procedure volumes and overestimating Stryker's ability to sustain premium pricing amid rising competition.
