Medtronic last announced its earnings results on Tuesday, February 21st.

Medtronic is a major player in the medical technology industry with a focus on developing, manufacturing and distributing device-based medical therapies and services that contribute significantly to this sector’s growth worldwide.
The business operates through four main segments: Cardiovascular Portfolio, Neuroscience Portfolio, Medical Surgical Portfolio and Diabetes Operating Unit which collectively offer valuable solutions to different aspects of healthcare management across various markets.
Interestingly enough, despite Medtronic’s overall success and consistent growth over numerous years in revenue production and innovation expansion that empowers healthcare solutions globally – during their most recent earning report highlighted previously – there was an .8% decrease compared to revenue earnings from Q4 FY2022.
Sell-side analysts predict that Medtonic’s overall EPS for FY23 will be 5.28 as it remains a prominent leader within this particular area of vertical specialization within stocks bringing significant investor confidence towards purchasing their shares or following great market shifts while retaining Medtronic’s stake as an essential holding in their portfolio.
Overall, the recent investment increase by Soltis Investment Advisors LLC is a testament to the growing interest and confidence in Medtronic’s capabilities and contributions towards advancing medical technology solutions, making them an ideal pick for those looking to engage in healthcare sectors.
