"Let's talk valuation here. How will Medtronic's stock do over the next five years and how safe is it? Keeping in mind, a ten is a sure thing, a one is a lottery ticket. I'm going to 10-15% annualized returns with a safety score of eight. That's because Medtronic trades at about 17-18 times earnings, which equates to an earnings yield of about 5.5% and management expects to grow earnings per share in fiscal year 27 at a high single digit rate. That comfortably gets you into that double digit expected return range before even accounting for potential multiple expansion, which the stock still trades at a discount, too. I think that adds to the safety score of eight as well."
