Steve Lichtman's questions to Stryker Corp (SYK) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Steve Lichtman of Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. asked about the impact of salesforce changes at Inari on its expected revenue contribution. He also inquired about the timing and cadence of the $175 million tariff impact in the second half of the year.
Answer
Chair & CEO Kevin Lobo stated that despite some sales rep turnover from implementing non-competes, Stryker is not calling down its full-year revenue expectation for Inari, which remains around $590 million for the 10-month ownership period. VP & CFO Preston Wells confirmed the tariff impact will be back-end loaded, flowing through inventory onto the P&L more significantly in Q3 and Q4.
