Medtronic (MDT-NYSE) posted quarterly results with revenues up 75 to $3.28 Billion, helped on currency by $71 million. Net earnings were 4812 million, or $0.70 EPS but $0.66 adjusting for charges and tax benefits. First Call estimates were $0.62 EPS and $3.27 Billion revenues. Shares closed up 0.45% ahead of earnings in normal trading and shares are up another 1.8% at $51.75 in after-hours trading. Unfortunately we have no guidance out of the company in this release, so this one is still an "outstanding and unresolved issue" until that is known.
MDT’s 52-week trading range is $42.37 to $54.86.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?
The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.
Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!
Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
