Initiate Medtronic with Strong Buy, $161 PT, citing a structural margin inflection from Diabetes spin-off and robust innovation pipeline (120+ approvals). Street underestimates FY27 margin/EPS upside from Diabetes separation and operating leverage in Cardiac & Structural Heart—key drivers for re-rating.

I focus on companies with consistent dividend growth, using a blend of the U.S. Dividend Champions list and NASDAQ data for my selections. This week's highlighted group averages a 5.9% dividend increase and a 19.5-year streak, but none outperformed the SCHD ETF over the past decade.
