I have been watching Stryker (SYK) for 2 years. While they haven't been as active as any meme stock, they have outperformed most of the market by only being down a few % over the last year or so.

Is this the same Stryker that makes stretchers and equipment for EMS?

Anecdotal of course but their EMS equipment is the best. Auto load stretchers are far better than their main competitor, Ferno from my experience. It seems to be the one I'm seeing most service around where i live adopt.

I worked for stryker for 6 years, managing one of the IT divisions.

Their product and research is amazing. The mako robots are phenomenal.

Their corporate culture is one of the most toxic I've seen.

But, their stretchers and robots are the best lol, especially the mako 4. Da Vinci needs to catch up.

They make fake joints for boomer hips. Buddy used to work for them, very profitable.

I've read <100 slides short report on that PoS. They have a lot of issues but perhaps the biggest one is their shit M&A strategy. They buy crap companies, pay big premium but most of their purchases never really work out and turn into kind of wasted money. Also Stryker family members been long term sellers. There are other issues too. Would not buy. So many other companies that are much better if you really want medical company.
