Fourth-Quarter 2010, a Synopsis

Tiffany posted better-than-expected fourth-quartejor growth drivers going ahead. Besides, acquisitions should enable the company to record higher revenues in the forthcoming period. During the fourth quarter, the company announced a major restructuring program to make it sustainable for the long-term growth.

There is a lot of insecurity regarding the course of action Omar Ishrak will adopt – whether he will follow the same strategy or embark on something new. Although investors would be looking up to the new CEO for the revival of the core businesses, any immediate solution is not on the cards.

We have a ‘Neutral’ rating on Medtronic.
