Smith & Nephew (SNN) Stock

Three major investors are pushing medical device maker Smith & Nephew to consider a break-up of the business, the Financial Times reported on Thursday, citing shareholders.

Smith & Nephew's Q3 results led to a 13% share price drop due to reduced FY24 guidance, mainly from lower demand in China. Despite short-term challenges, long-term fundamentals remain strong, presenting a buying opportunity at current lower prices.
