Valuation Risks for Medtronic PLC (NYSE:MDT)

Soon, valuation levels will matter again, and when that happens companies whose earnings growth rates don't warrant the PE multiples will see their share prices fall.  Stock Traders Daily has initiated coverage of Medtronic PLC (NYSE:MDT) with a Sell Rating based on valuation.

With earnings growth deteriorating this year valuation concerns are as well, and that poses serious risks for investors.  Our macroeconomic analysis, The Investment Rate, tells us that there is a liquidity crisis in the United States as that pertains to NEW MONEY, and that can and will have adverse influences on equity prices. 

As the year continues this will result in multiple contractions, and the companies most vulnerable to that are those whose growth rates are declining.  MDT fits that description, and there is not only deserved of a sell rating based on current valuation levels, but also as that relates to future risks perceptions.

We encourage you to read The Investment Rate in conjunction with this observation.
