VP Chief HR Officer Kathryn Fink sold net 3,500 shares, disposing of over $7.2M in total value across multiple transactions on May 8–11.
Kathryn Fink, VP and Chief HR Officer at Stryker, executed a series of transactions that netted a reduction of approximately 3,500 shares while generating over $7.2M in gross disposition value. The activity mixed equity grants (exercised shares and withheld tax), but the net effect is a net sale as she reduced her stake. The stock is trading well below its 52-week high and down notably over the past month and quarter, presenting a backdrop of price weakness. Fink's prior sales history at Stryker shows a conflicting pattern: all five prior sales were well-timed in the very near term as the stock declined in the following month, but poorly timed over a longer three-month horizon as the stock recovered. This latest sale occurs as the company remains solidly profitable with growing revenue, though valued at a relatively elevated multiple. Notably, Fink has no record of open-market purchases in the prior three-year window—this filing adds her 13th and 14th open-market sales, deepening a consistent pattern of net disposition.
