What Happened
Menon Viju, Group President of Stryker Corporation (SYK), received an award of 10,310 derivative securities on February 4, 2026. The filing shows an acquisition-type transaction (A) with a reported price of $0.00, indicating a grant of stock options rather than a cash purchase. The grant’s economic value or exercise price is not disclosed in the provided filing.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-04; Form 4 filed: 2026-02-06 (timely filing within the usual two-business-day window).
• Reported transaction: Grant/award (derivative) of 10,310 shares/options at $0.00.
• Vesting: Options exercisable as to 20% on each of the first five anniversaries of the grant date (per footnote).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided data.
• Notable: The filing does not list an exercise/strike price or immediate sale — this is a standard time-based option grant, not a cash exercise or open-market purchase.

Context
This was a compensation-related option grant, which gives the executive the right to buy shares in the future according to the vesting schedule. Because the exercise price and any potential market value at grant are not shown in the filing, the immediate monetary value to the insider can’t be determined from this form alone. Option grants are common as long-term incentives and do not represent an immediate purchase or sale of stock.
