Stryker Corporation has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Amplitude Vascular Systems, a Boston-based medical technology company developing next-generation intravascular lithotripsy technology for treating calcified peripheral arterial disease. Financial terms were not disclosed. AVS's technology uses pulsed CO₂-generated pressure waves delivered through a balloon catheter to fracture calcium deposits. The platform aims to enhance catheter deliverability, treatment speed and therapy efficiency. The acquisition will strengthen Stryker's peripheral vascular portfolio and expand its presence in arterial disease treatment. Stryker CEO Kevin Lobo said the deal advances the company's vision to build a comprehensive peripheral vascular platform addressing significant clinical needs. IVL technology is experiencing strong growth as physicians increasingly adopt it for calcium modification in complex cardiovascular procedures. The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions.
Stryker has raised $120 million in a Series C round led by Ribbit Capital, valuing the medical technology company at $1.45 billion. The funding comes despite shares declining 7.6% over the past six months, outperforming the industry's 19.7% drop. The company delivered 11% organic sales growth in Q4 2025 and 10.3% for the full year, marking its fourth consecutive year of double-digit growth. Performance was broad-based across its Orthopaedics, MedSurg and Neurotechnology segments, driven by strong procedural volumes and favourable demographics. Stryker achieved over 100 basis points of operating margin expansion for the second consecutive year despite tariff pressures. The company enters 2026 with a robust capital equipment backlog, though rising interest costs and tariffs present near-term challenges. Analysts maintain a Hold rating on the stock.
Stryker shares fell 9% to $339 following a destructive cyberattack by Iranian-linked group Handala that wiped over 200,000 systems and disrupted manufacturing and shipping operations across 56,000 employees in 61 countries. The medical technology company confirmed disruptions to order processing but stated there was no indication of ransomware. Unlike typical ransomware attacks, this wiper attack permanently deleted data rather than holding it for ransom, complicating recovery efforts. The incident threatens Stryker's 8% to 9.5% organic growth guidance for 2026 if operations fail to normalise quickly. Stryker generated $25 billion in revenue in 2025 with $4.283 billion in free cash flow and holds $4 billion in cash. Analysts maintain a consensus price target of $424.89 with 22 buy ratings and no sell ratings among 30 covering analysts.
Stryker reported Q4 revenues of $7.17 billion, up 11.4% year-over-year and exceeding analyst expectations by 0.8%. The medical device manufacturer, which impacts over 150 million patients annually through its orthopaedics, surgical tools, neurotechnology and patient care solutions, delivered what CEO Kevin Lobo called "an outstanding finish to 2025". The company achieved double-digit sales and adjusted earnings per share growth for both the quarter and full year, whilst expanding adjusted operating margin by at least 100 basis points for the second consecutive year. Across the medical devices and supplies sector, the six diversified stocks tracked reported mixed Q4 results. As a group, revenues beat consensus estimates by 1.9%, though share prices have declined an average of 5.1% since the latest earnings announcements.
