In position to deliver FY16 targets

Smith & Nephew (S&N) reported Q3 results in line with consensus. Following slower revenue growth than expected by management in H1, Q3 results indicate an improvement, particularly in emerging markets, which reported 6% revenue growth as the outlook in China improves. Significant revenue contributions continue to come from Sports Medicine Joint Repair and Knee Implants, although Wound Care remains weak. S&N’s 3% premium rating on 2016e P/E to the average of its global orthopaedic peers is underpinned by evidence of improving growth prospects.
