Why Medtronic Stock Is Sinking Today
Shares of the medical device maker Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) were down by 5% on heavy volume as of 10:53 a.m. ET Thursday. Although Medtronic topped Wall Street's consensus forecasts for the three-month period, investors appear to be reacting negatively to the company's financial guidance. Management blamed a stubbornly strong dollar and persistently high inflation for this softer-than-expected financial guidance.
