More than four-fifths of the 100 largest medical device companies in the world saw their stock prices increase during the first three months of 2017, according to a Medical Design & Outsourcing analysis of how the stocks of our Big 100 companies are faring.

The situation suggests that even with the uncertainty around what the Trump administration in the U.S. is going to do, investors are confident that the future looks bright for the industry. There may even be tax cuts and reductions in regulations to be had in the new political environment.
