As of today all my stock options going back to 2016 are worthless at an $82 per share price. The lost decade.

Hands down one of the worst performing stocks that I own even with the 15% ESPP discount. It’s insane.
It's catching up to a 11year low: Medtronic's giving away stock options diluting shareholder value hiding compensation transferring equity. Use Employee Stock Purchase Stock instead of giving away share holders value.
Now below 80. It's the MDT limbo. How low can it go? Funny to see the "analysts" revise drastically downward after the fact. I guess they had the company all figured out.
I'm sick of loosing years of growth for the protentional the MDT will do better. I switched and incentives to NO stock options, "Only stock" after having 10 year, 5,000 option shares expiring under water. I'm waiting for some miracle over $110 to unload all of MDT.
@d7 GM, is that you?!
An excellent buying opportunity at 83 bucks
Glad I dump 1/2 my shares at 100$ ... now I'm sc--wed like everyone else .... UGH
@ae Decent dividends. But also a lot of share repurchases that apparently have done nothing for the stock value!
@d7 I'm talking about zero share price growth in 10 years, not the past year. BSX $20 to $100, ABT 43 to 100 during the past 10 years.
@ar its popular around these parts to blame leadsforshit, but in reality all of med tech have had a rough time since Trump took office. Over the past year BSX is down 32%, ABT is down 29% and MDT even.
Tarrifs, Medicare uncertainty, GLP-1, shift in regulatory stability all impact the uncertainty in the med tech industry. The market does not reward uncertainty, especially when the upside of med tech uncertainty is far lower than the upside of AI related companies for similar levels of uncertainty.
The 10 year headwind.
@ar During this period the Diabetes sale showed the emperor had no clothes. Check the valuation estimates before the sale. Longer term Murtha is just a weak leader.
Theories on why it fell so much over the past few months?
@ae you can get better dividends in an ETF paid monthly.
You can’t just ignore 10 years worth of dividends and claim no returns in the last decade.
This is why you sell immediately after 1 year.
