Medtronic Has a Strong Dividend History, but Is That Now in Danger?

Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) investors don't have reason to sweat today, but they might want to start thinking about whether the company can sustain its dividend payments in the long run. Thanks to a handful of headwinds and chronically slow growth, it's possible that this colossus is starting to overextend itself. The first thing investors need to know about Medtronic and its chances of continuing to pay its dividend is that it's an absolutely gargantuan medical device manufacturer that makes a mind-boggling number of products distributed globally.
