SYK insider ownership: who sold, why, and what they still hold

What stands out

Two insiders sold $583M with no disclosed plan: Ronda Stryker ($581M) and Kathryn Fink ($2.5M). The filings don't state a reason.Ronda Stryker: largest such sale, Nov 6, 2025 · Kathryn Fink: largest such sale, May 11, 2026

Robert Fletcher sold 43% of vested holdings: 4.5K shares for $1.4M, all under a disclosed plan.Largest sale, May 28, 2026

James Pierce sold 475 shares (0.7% of starting holdings), but 32K more vested, so the stake grew (from 69K to 84K).Largest sale, Feb 2, 2026

Percentages cover 18 of 21 officers and directors. Left out: Ronda Stryker (most holdings were last confirmed in 2005); Kathryn Fink and William Berry Jr. (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead). Disclosed company stock is not an insider's whole wealth.

Who sold, and how much of their stake

Officers and directors, past 12 months. Each bar is 100% of that person's own stake; not comparable between people. The stake is the vested shares held at the start of the period (Oct 9, 2025); the gold part is what they sold.

Common questions

Is the Stryker Corporation CEO selling stock?

No. Kevin Lobo reported no open-market sales in the past 12 months.

Why are Stryker Corporation insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 0.2% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 99.8% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any Stryker Corporation insiders buying?

No. Officers and directors reported no purchases in the past 12 months.

How much of their stake did Stryker Corporation insiders sell?

About 1.8% overall. As a group they ended with more shares than they started with. These figures leave out Ronda Stryker, the largest holder (most holdings were last confirmed in 2005). That covers the 12 months to Oct 9, 2026 and counts vested shares reported on SEC Forms 3, 4 and 5, which is not an insider's whole wealth.

21 of 21 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (10 exactly, 11 with a minor or footnoted difference). Percentages cover 18 of 21 officers and directors. Left out: Ronda Stryker (most holdings were last confirmed in 2005); Kathryn Fink and William Berry Jr. (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead). "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.

What explains the selling$586M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $586M across 1,697,124 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

Disclosed plan · $1.4M · 0.2%

99.8%

The lighter segment is sales with no plan disclosed in the filing ($585M), including tax-related sales outside a plan.

No plan disclosed · $585M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $581M of it is Ronda Stryker. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Ronda Stryker, Nov 6, 2025

Taxes

222,362 shares ($78.2M) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale.

Charitable gifts · 1.6K shares

Gifts the filings describe as charitable. Gifts are not sales and are not included in the sale totals.

Is this normal? Selling year by year5 earlier years to compare with

More than usual: about 3x the 5-year average. 8 insiders sold; the average is 7 a year.

Open-market sales (Form 4 code S) by people who were officers or directors, in split-adjusted shares. Earlier years include people who have since left. A sale that an outside holder also reports (a family trust, a fund) is counted with outside holders in every year. Shares, not dollars, are compared, so a change in the stock price doesn't look like a change in selling. Years the filings don't fully cover are shown but left out of the average.

Inferred rename: "Trusts" is treated as the same holder as "Trust", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (37,578,640 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "Charitable Lead Annunity Trust" is treated as the same holder as "Charitable Lead Trust", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (47,000 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "As trustee" is treated as the same holder as "trust", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (18,225,512 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "Trust" is treated as the same holder as "Srikant M. Datar Trust", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (1,000 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "Srikant M. Datar Trust" is treated as the same holder as "Swati S. Datar Trust", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (1,000 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred typo: the share class "ommon Stock" is treated as the same class as "Common Stock" on 1 holding line, because the two spellings are nearly identical and each balance carried over exactly. Example (Pat Stryker, 502,208 shares): old title, new title

Inferred typo: the share class "Commonn Stock" is treated as the same class as "Common Stock" on 1 holding line, because the two spellings are nearly identical and each balance carried over exactly. Example (Stephen Johnson, 504,085 shares): old title, new title

External context: we only cite outside events when a documented connection exists. None is shown for this period.

Sources and methodology2,033 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 2,033 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for Stryker Corporation (SEC CIK 310764) from Jul 10, 2003 to Sep 28, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 9, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages. 4 filings were left out because Stryker Corporation filed them as an owner of another company's stock.

Probable 2-for-1 stock split on or before Jul 19, 2004 (first filing that shows post-split balances). Splits aren't reported as transactions; 8 holding lines changed by exactly this ratio, so earlier share counts are restated.

Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.

Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
