For upcoming quarters, investors will be watching Stryker's ability to regain its performance momentum relative to the broader market and the sector. Key will be the company's execution on its strategic direction and its capacity to translate its strong historical earnings performance into renewed stock appreciation amidst analyst target adjustments.
