Smith & Nephew plc (ADR) (SNN)

CAPS Rating:

The Company is a global business engaged in the development, manufacture and marketing of medical devices in the sectors of orthopaedic reconstruction, orthopaedic trauma and clinical therapies, endoscopy and advanced wound management.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

They continue to pressure leading competitors Zimmer and Stryker and are poised to overtake Zimmer in 2010. They have addressed their inventory concerns from 2006 and are continuing to implement full lean processes. The SAP conversion from previously outdated BPCS will only aid in the management of their inventories. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!
