  • Sales increased 10.7% to $5.2 billion, ahead of the consensus estimate of $4.96 billion.
  • "We delivered outstanding organic sales growth in the fourth quarter, driven by strong commercial execution and improved supply," Stryker CEO Kevin Lobo said. "We expect continued positive sales momentum in 2023 and for adjusted earnings to gradually improve over the course of the year."
