Context This was a stock option grant, not an option exercise or sale — the award gives the holder the right to buy shares in the future subject to vesting and exercise conditions. Grants are common for executive compensation and do not by themselves indicate buying or selling sentiment; the ultimate value depends on Stryker's future stock price and whether/when the options are exercised.
