MDTStock and Options Trade Setup — Medtronic plc
NYSE · Healthcare (Medical Devices — Diversified) · High-liquidity options · Large cap · ~$110B
Medtronic is in the middle of a multi-year R&D harvest cycle. After years of underwhelming organic growth and operational missteps, the pipeline is delivering: Hugo robotic surgery platform launching commercially in 2026 (challenger to Intuitive Surgical), Symplicity Spyral renal denervation gaining commercial momentum for resistant hypertension treatment, MiniMed 780G insulin pump continuing diabetes share gains, and pulse-field ablation (PFA) catheters opening a new $5B+ atrial fibrillation TAM. The CEO transition to Geoffrey Martha's successor in 2026 is a watch-item but the strategy is established. Margins are expanding as portfolio rationalisation (divesting lower-margin businesses) compounds. Dividend has been increased for 46+ consecutive years (Dividend Aristocrat). Beta is among the lowest in med-tech. Risk profile is low. Options liquidity is high; medium-duration directional setups around product launch catalysts have been productive.

MDT Options Setup — Frequently Asked Questions
Is MDT a good options trade today?+
Medtronic plc (MDT) currently has an Amora Edge Score of 68/100, ranking it top 23% of today's scan. This composite score is built from four sub-signals — EMA cross, RSI zone, relative strength vs SPY, and volume surge — each scored 0–25. The current read is a bullish setup, so the algorithm is positioned bullish (calls / call debit spreads). A score above 65 typically warrants a trade card with stop and target; below that, the setup is on the watchlist but not actionable.
What is MDT's win rate on Stoptions.ai setups?+
MDT's historical win rate on closed Stoptions setups is 64%. Win rate is calculated as the percentage of past MDT trade cards that hit their target price before stopping out. Win rate is most meaningful once a ticker has 10+ closed trades — individual ticker rates can be noisy at smaller samples. Our portfolio-wide win rate across all closed trades is the more stable benchmark.
What strike and expiry does Stoptions.ai suggest for MDT?+
The strike and expiry are shown on the trade card at the top of this page when the setup is active. Stoptions.ai algorithmically selects strikes targeting delta 0.35–0.45 and expirations 30–45 days out, adjusted for current implied volatility rank (IVR). When IVR is high, the system favors call debit spreads to limit vega risk; when IVR is low, single-leg long calls are preferred. The card includes the contract symbol, mid-price entry, stop, and target.
How often is the MDT setup updated?+
Every 72 hours we refresh MDT's Amora Edge Score and trade card. The underlying scan runs daily at 9:00 AM ET (pre-market) and 9:30 AM ET (post-open), so any new signal change is reflected within one trading session. If MDT drops below the entry threshold or the regime shifts (e.g., SPY enters a confirmed bear), the trade card is replaced with a "no setup" notice automatically.
What does the Amora Edge Score measure for MDT?+
The Amora Edge Score is a 0–100 composite of four technical sub-signals applied to MDT: (1) EMA cross — is the 20-day above the 50-day with both trending up? (2) RSI zone — is momentum in the 50–70 sweet spot, or extended/weak? (3) Relative strength vs SPY — is MDT outperforming the market over 20 sessions? (4) Volume surge — is participation above the 20-day average? Each sub-signal contributes 0–25 points. MDT currently scores 68.
How does MDT compare to other Healthcare (Medical Devices — Diversified) setups?+
MDT's sector rank and percentile against other Healthcare (Medical Devices — Diversified) tickers we track is shown on the /tickers index — sortable by Amora Edge Score, win rate, or sector. For direct comparison, see the "Related Healthcare (Medical Devices — Diversified) Options Setups" panel above. When multiple tickers in the same sector are scoring 80+, the algorithm flags the cluster as a sector rotation signal and may upweight position sizing.
