Stryker Corporation (NYSE:SYK) Q4 2023 Earnings Call Transcript

Page 10 of 10

If something bigger happens like a MAKO, as you know, was very dilutive but has proven to be a pretty terrific asset for our company, we’re not going to say, well, we’re going to wait two years and then we’ll do it later. We’re going to go ahead and do it. But again, I don’t see that on the horizon. It’s not obvious to me. But I’d never want to rule that out. It would be foolish, frankly, to be beholden to a certain financial target and pass up what could be very value creating for our company. But again, it’s not our current frame of mind, not our current thought process. But I don’t want to rule out that that could be a possibility.

Operator: I will now turn the call back over to Mr. Kevin Lobo for closing remarks.

Kevin Lobo: Thank you all for joining our call. As you can see, we have terrific momentum as we finish the year. We’re excited about 2024, and we look forward to sharing our first quarter results with you in April. Thank you.
