Why Zimmer Biomet Holdings (ZBH) Is Back On Investor Radar

Zimmer Biomet Holdings (ZBH) is drawing fresh attention after reporting 4.8% year over year revenue growth, 33.8% earnings per share growth, manageable net debt to EBITDA of 2.7, and an ongoing annual dividend.

Most Popular Narrative: 9.5% Undervalued

Zimmer Biomet Holdings closed at $97.35 against a narrative fair value of $107.57, so the current share price sits below that framework and puts the focus firmly on whether margin recovery and cost programs can bridge the gap.

The main factor that has to go right is successful execution of the commercial and cost-efficiency programs, including Project Optima, the global capability center in India, the Costa Rica plant, and integration of acquisitions such as Paragon 28 and iovera, while managing pressure on gross and operating margins.

The shift of R&D activities to a global capability center in India together with the build out of a manufacturing plant in Costa Rica signals a multi year cost structure reset that could ease manufacturing and engineering expenses, which would be supportive of gross margin and operating margin once initial investments and restructuring charges pass.

See why 38 investors see Zimmer Biomet Holdings as 10% undervalued.

Result: Fair Value of $107.57 (UNDERVALUED)

Still, pricing pressure that Zimmer Biomet Holdings flags at around 80 basis points, along with recent gross and operating margin declines, could quickly challenge the margin recovery story.
