Stryker posts 9.4% Q2 2026 sales growth with 450bps gross margin expansion driven by tariff reversal and Inari integration progress

Stryker delivered Q2 2026 net sales of $6,589 million, with organic constant-currency growth of 9.0% driven by broad-based volume gains across all Orthopaedics and most MedSurg and Neurotechnology businesses. Gross margin expanded 450 basis points year-over-year to 68.3%, the single largest driver being a 260-basis-point benefit from the reversal of 2025 tariffs, with additional tailwinds from lower inventory step-up amortization tied to the Inari acquisition cycling through. The May 2026 acquisition of AVS — a next-generation intravascular lithotripsy platform for complex peripheral arterial disease — signals continued deliberate build-out of the Peripheral Vascular portfolio following the $4,810 million Inari deal closed in February 2025.
