Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Teresa Rivas]

  Smith & Nephew ADRs (SNN)  were jumping more than 10% on Tuesday afternoon, on anonymous reports that Stryker (SYK) would make a bid for the U.K. firm well above current levels.

• [By ovenerio]

  The company has a current ROE of 15.24% which is higher than the industry median. Also, it is higher than the ones exhibit by Abbott (ABT) and Stryker (SYK). In general, analysts consider ROE ratios in the 15-20% range as representing attractive levels for investment. So, for investors looking at those levels, Medtronic and Baxter (BAX) also could be good options. It is very important to understand this metric before investing, and it is important to look at the trend in ROE over time.
