Political ProfileWhere SYK sits in Washington
[object Object]
STRUCTURAL: Strong committee alignment via a ranking member on the key Health Subcommittee and executive branch holdings (Trump and Burgum per `get_executive_branch_exposure`). EVIDENTIARY: No recent corporate insider buys (`get_corporate_insider_signal.top_buys` is empty) and congressional trading is mixed (3 distinct traders with 11 sales and 5 purchases). Net: Structural support is offset by a lack of bullish trading evidence.
