Medtronic plc revealed strong 3Q17 sales in its most recent earnings, distancing itself from a relatively bleak 2Q17. The Dublin-based company's revenue grew about six percent during the three months ending on Jan. 27 compared to the same period last year. Strong sales also boosted Medtronic's adjusted income up 3.3 percent to $1.5 billion, on total sales of $7.28 billion during the quarter. With these earnings the company is rebounding from a period of stalled growth.
