Medtronic plc (NYSE:MDT) is one of the 10 Best Brain-Computer Interface Stocks to Buy.

On June 8, Medtronic plc (NYSE:MDT) Chairman and CEO Geoffrey Martha said on Fox Business Network’s The Claman Countdown that the company now expects a $250 million tariff hit for fiscal 2027, down from a prior $300 million estimate due to supply chain adjustments. It includes $75 million in the first quarter.

Martha noted the figure could change given new US tariff threats targeting multiple trading partners emerge, saying, “we’ll have to re-evaluate that.”

He said tariffs remain “pretty meaningful,” surging year over year and adding pressure along with higher input costs such as fuel. He underlined that around 80% of  Medtronic plc (NYSE:MDT)’s supply chain and over 90% of R&D are based in the US.
