Stryker posted higher profit in its fourth quarter, boosted by double-digit growth in medical and surgical equipment and neurotechnology sales.

The Portage, Mich.-based, medical supplies maker logged fourth-quarter profit of $849 million, or $2.20 per share, compared with $546 million, or $1.41 per share, a year earlier.

Adjusted earnings came in at $4.47 per share. Analysts polled by FactSet were expecting $4.06 per share.

Sales rose 11.4% to $7.17 billion, beating the $7.12 billion expected by Wall Street, according to FactSet. Organic sales increased 11% in the period, the company added.

MedSurg and neurotechnology sales increased 17.5% in the quarter to $4.6 billion, while orthopaedics sales grew 2.2% to $2.6 billion.

For the full year 2025, the company posted sales of $25.1 billion, up 11.2% from the year prior.

In 2026, Stryker expects full year organic net sales growth to be in the range of 8% to 9.5% and adjusted earnings to be in the range of $14.90 to $15.10 per share.

Analysts polled by FactSet are predicting 2026 adjusted earnings of $14.03 per share.

"Having surpassed $25 billion in revenue, we enter 2026 with significant momentum and are poised to continue delivering growth at the high end of MedTech," Chief Executive Officer Kevin A. Lobo said.
