Shares of Smith & Nephew (NYSE:SNN) slipped initially but have regained some of their value since more talk of a possible buyout surfaced in the U.K. last week.
The British orthopedics giant is up 2.7 percent on The Street today to $43.94 after flirting with a 52-week low Friday, Nov. 25. The stock has fared even worse in its home country following an "uninspiring" meeting with analysts last week.
