The world’s largest medical device companies are still hiring for medtech jobs despite layoffs in tech and other industries.

Medtech developers — and medtech jobs — are resilient, with the industry’s COVID-19 pandemic performance only bolstering its recession-proof reputation.

That’s not to say there haven’t been job cuts in medtech, led by thousands of layoffs at Philips as it struggles with a massive recall of deadly respiratory devices. But most medical device manufacturers are still hiring, and in some cases they can’t attract enough candidates to fill every vacancy in a tight labor market.

Stryker, for example, grew to approximately 51,000 employees as of the end of 2022, increasing its headcount by nearly 11 percent last year. Boston Scientific reported nearl…

Warehouse problem causes big Q4 miss for Conmed

Conmed (NYSE: CNMD) released Q4 results that missed Wall Street projections by a wide margin due to a previously disclosed warehouse problem.

The Largo, Florida–based maker of surgical and patient monitoring products and services earned $26.6 million, or 86¢ per share, off of $250.9 million in sales for the quarter that ended Dec. 31, 2022. The results, posted yesterday evening, represented an 9% bottom-line gain and a top-line slide of 8%.

Adjusted to exclude one-time items, Conmed had earnings per share of 42¢. The amount was less than half of the 90¢ EPS consensus expected by Wall Street analysts, who predicted $302.51 million in sales.

Needham & Co. senior research analyst Mike Matson wrote in a report that Q4 miss shouldn’t have been a surprise because Conmed had previously disclosed the warehouse software implementation problems.

“While this was a disappointing quarter, we expect CNMD to recover in 2023, and we maintain our B…

Conmed pulls 2022 guidance due to software implementation

Conmed (NYSE:CNMD) announced today that it is withdrawing its full-year outlook over problems implementing software at its main distribution facility.

Largo, Florida-based Conmed last month issued its guidance with a reduction from previous projections. This came on the back of an underwhelming third-quarter performance that saw its stock dip by nearly 8%. However, shares of CNMD have been on the rise since then.

CNMD shares ticked up 1.3% at $90.24 apiece in midday trading today. MassDevice’s MedTech 100 Index — which includes stocks of the world’s largest medical device companies — was up more than 6%.

It projected adjusted EPS to fall between $3.21 and $3.28. The company previously projected a range of $3.25 to $3.45. However, the low end of its revenue guidance rose. T…

Conmed stock slides on Q3 revenue miss, slashed EPS guidance

Conmed (NYSE:CNMD) shares took a hit today on third-quarter results that missed the consensus revenue forecast.

Conmed more than tripled its bottom line on sales growth of 10.5%.

Adjusted to exclude one-time items, earnings per share came to 77¢. That registers …

The 10 largest orthopedic device companies in the world

[Image from Pixaby]

Pent-up demand could make orthopedic devices a hot space in 2021.

The COVID-19 pandemic was especially brutal for the orthopedic device industry. Many of the largest companies in the space saw double-digit percentage declines in revenue in 2020. Health providers delayed or canceled elective procedures to focus on the pandemic, and patients stayed away in droves.

It’s a new year now, though, and vaccines are rolling out. People don’t want to live with a bad knee or hip or back forever. Growth will eventually return for the industry, and orthopedic device companies are positioning themselves to be ready.

Rather than hunkering down during the pandemic, many ortho device companies chose shop for new technologies and major M&A deals. They’re reorganizing and launching new products ranging from surgical robots to smart implants.
