Piper Jaffray analyst Matt O'Brien calls Stryker's acquisition of Physio-Control a "'bit of a head scratcher" given the historical performance of the company. Physio-Control has historically struggled with recalls and delivering steady topline growth, O'Brien tells investors in a research note. The analyst points out, however, that Stryker still has "ample dry powder" to do additional deals. He keeps an Overweight rating on the shares with a $110 price target.
