Medtronic

Pacemakers, insulin pumps, surgical staplers and spinal implants all sit inside Medtronic, the largest medical device company in the world by revenue. It sells the hardware that hospitals use across cardiology, surgery, diabetes care and neurology, in more than 150 countries, which spreads its risk across many therapies and geographies rather than betting on a single product. The business is old, tracing to a Minneapolis medical-equipment repair shop started in 1949, and its operational base is still in Minnesota even though it is legally domiciled in Ireland after its 2015 acquisition of Covidien. Growth is steady rather than fast, driven by aging populations and a stream of incremental device improvements, and the company is known for paying and raising its dividend for decades. Investors tend to hold it as a defensive, income-paying anchor in healthcare.
