Lock-in-now is deterministic (0%). Plans that wait depend on future prices; risk is near-zero when inventory comfortably exceeds the goal. Volatility: each stack's option-implied vol if a ticker is set, otherwise 30%. Lognormal model; real markets have fatter tails.

The company sells the sterilization and infection-prevention systems hospitals depend on, together with the services and consumables that keep them running, and it operates contract sterilization facilities for medical-device manufacturers. Regulatory requirements make sterilization non-discretionary, which insulates demand from hospital budget pressure better than most equipment categories. Outsourced sterilization is constrained by facility permitting, particularly around ethylene oxide emissions. Service contracts on installed equipment provide the recurring layer. The company is incorporated in Ireland, with operations run from Mentor, Ohio.

If you hold vested Steris (STE) shares and need a set amount of cash by a date (a house down payment, tuition, a sabbatical, a business buy-in), the question is which lots to sell and in which tax years to keep the most after tax. This calculator builds the minimum-tax sell schedule across your lots, accounting for federal long-term capital gains, the net investment income tax, and your state.

Example: a 5,000-share STE position at $232.39 is worth $1,161,950. Say you need $150,000 of it for a house down payment by next spring. Selling enough shares all in one tax year can push the gain into the higher long-term capital-gains bracket and trigger the 3.8% net investment income tax; spreading the sale across two tax years often nets more. The calculator above finds the minimum-tax sell schedule across your specific lots, basis, goal, and date.

Steris equity questions

How much STE stock do I sell to fund a goal without overpaying tax?
It depends on your cost basis, your target amount and date, and how the sale spreads across tax years. Selling vested STE shares triggers long-term capital-gains tax, plus the 3.8% net investment income tax and state tax above certain income, and bunching a large sale into one year can push the gain into a higher bracket. The calculator above builds the minimum-tax sell schedule across your lots to net your target amount by your date.
Does Steris grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
Equity compensation at Steris typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
