Strike While Stryker is Hot

The break from a double-top is playing right into traders' hands

   

Stryker Corp. (NYSE: SYK) — This global specialty surgical and medical products company is expected to see a 12% increase in sales this year, led by the acquisition of Boston Scientific’s (NYSE: BSX) neurovascular unit.

S&P looks for earnings of $3.72 this year, up from $3.33, and they project earnings of $4.15 in 2012. On Feb. 23, UBS raised SYK to a “buy” from a “hold.”

Technically, the break from the double-top could give a trading target of $74. SYK was recommended as one of my Top Stocks for March. It is performing as expected and remains one of my top stock picks.
