After accounting for a $3.65 per share cost of equity, the framework generates an excess return of $4.36 per share, with book value projected to approach $49.72 over time. The $20 billion orthopedics business pursuit introduces questions regarding how effectively capital can be recycled into fee income and investment gains on an expanded equity base.
