MDT trade ideas

Piggyback the profiteers After some conversation with a young single mom and what she goes through to get her and her 2 yr old diabetes meds @ $13hr...f to the big pharma and f to the health care that does not cover such a life saving drug. It's not a conspiracy...it's a cultural failure to recognize how far we have come in such a short time. Some will call it profiteering...sure but it's also about what is done with those profits...what could be done. So I'm in on medtronic with the mission to take their pillaging and raping of the target audience, get some profits and help someone that needs help with their medication. www.diabetes.ca you can donate as well....I just want to take the strain off someone I know personally.

Robotic Surgery Device MDT (Medtronic) UnderValued 5 Year Trend Medtronic based in Ireland, specializes in Robotic Surgeries. You are getting Value & Growth here folks. These surgeries have been put on hold, being postponed due to pandemic. Just prior to March 2020 MDT's chart shows a 5 year up-trend. Upon March obviously we see the crash. This crash is superficial because MDT has long been in the market they currently are contenders in and have had their ups and downs like any value company, who sways with the natural currents of the markets over time. A professor once told me, he would always give a better grade to the kid who started out okay and grew through his class over the course of a year. Because anyone can do great for a short run; Long runs however, are true tests of mettle that show if you can adapt and that is what your getting with MDT. A company passionate about what they do and why they do it, great proven talent at the helm. Medtronic also has grown via buyouts and M&A's; Covidien acquisition specifically, was the biggest in the history of Medical Device Industry. Their existing products are what have created the trend line up until August of 2020. Why you ask? Well, the most common narrative is that surgeries will commence again. But these backlogged surgeries were baked in to the previous estimates, so why would their stock POP as high as it did relative to the previous trend-line? Why is there a higher trend-line? Answer simply is the 4th Industrial Revolution. 5G and Internet of Medical Things (not to be confused with IoMT which is Military) allow for Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp - if you haven't heard of this yet, get familiar because I bet Ubi-Comp will be the most used word of 2021) and that is Edge computing my friends. Super fast-low latency data transfers will allow for Real-Time responses from your robot, operating it from anywhere in the world with absolute confidence that a data lag won't occur causing a possibly fatal error. 4G did not offer that confidence. In addition, more automated robotic procedures will be approachable by MDT due to new 5g capabilities allowing them to capitalize on this fresh blue ocean of a market. Obviously, you cannot have hiccups in the commands to the robot if you are doing surgery remotely. So, MDT is getting an upgrade for the expected new Robotic products it will roll out over this and the coming years. I cannot express the amount of money just waiting to be scooped up by MDT for new contracts and likely they will continue to acquire and merge as the 5G Standard Protocol is created by various private companies, (IEEE etc.) and government officers. Their new price target for 2022 should be closer to the $200 and up area. I would go so far as to say you will see a merger or cooperation with Apple as it is moving into the Medical device industry and MDT might be a cheap buy for Apple.

MDT price target raised to 133; pent-up demand provides tailwindMDT price target was just upgraded to $133 by Citi. I see it overshooting that in the long run. Elective surgeries have been put off and doctor visits have been down throughout the pandemic so the amount of pent-up demand for surgical/medical care is going to be through the roof. With an aging population, healthcare is a MUST as a sector to allocate to. MDT is an excellent way to play this sector. After periods of consolidation, MDT looks ready to head towards it's price target. My guess is it hits $150 before it reaches any significant resistance. In terms of fundamentals, their current ratio is 2.1020, meaning they could pay their current liabilities 2 times over if sh*t hit the fan and business came to a complete halt. Highly unlikely, but if it did happen, you would be sheltered for a period of time.
