Stryker Soars on Earnings News

Shares of Stryker (SYK) are doing very well today. At one point, SYK was up over 12% from yesterday’s close. Check Point (CHKP) is down a little bit after its earnings report.

Two other items to note.

The ADP payroll report came in at 213,000. That’s a good number but it’s not always a reliable indicator of the official government report which is due out on Friday.

Ross Stores (ROST) is set to become a dividend aristocrat. That’s a stock with 25 straight years of dividend growth. The other four that are soon to make it are Albemarle (ALB), Essex Property Trust (ESS), Expeditors International of Washington (EXPD) and Realty Income (O).
