MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

On August 15, 1971, Nixon interrupted prime-time television and ended the gold standard in 15 minutes - no debate, no vote, one executive order. Gold tripled within three years and climbed 20x over the following decade. Trump holds that same executive authority today, and his advisors are openly saying a reversal is on the table.

Zimmer Biomet
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc.:

  • The company recently reported strong second-quarter results, beating consensus estimates with earnings per share of $2.07 compared to the expected $2.01, while also exceeding revenue forecasts with $2.18 billion in sales, demonstrating robust operational performance and demand for its orthopedic products.
  • Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. offers a stable income stream for investors through its quarterly dividend of $0.24 per share, which is scheduled to be paid on October 30th, providing an annualized yield of approximately 1.08% that is well-covered by the company's earnings with a low payout ratio.
  • The stock currently trades at $87.98, which is significantly below the average analyst price target of $103.00, suggesting potential upside value for investors who believe the market is undervaluing the company's long-term growth prospects in the medical technology sector.
  • Institutional investors are showing renewed confidence in the company, with major firms like Envestnet Asset Management Inc. and State Street Corp increasing their holdings in the second quarter, indicating that professional money managers are positioning themselves for future growth.
  • The company maintains a conservative financial profile with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.50 and a current ratio of 1.69, which provides a strong balance sheet to support its operations and navigate potential economic headwinds in the healthcare industry.

Zimmer Biomet
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. for these reasons:

  • Recent insider activity has been negative, with executives such as Kevin R. Thornal and Chad Phipps selling significant blocks of stock in September 2026, which may signal a lack of confidence in the near-term stock price or a desire to diversify personal holdings.
  • The stock has experienced a decline from its 52-week high of $106.88 to the current price of $87.98, reflecting a downward trend that has disappointed investors and raised concerns about the company's ability to sustain its previous growth trajectory.
  • Wall Street analysts have a mixed outlook, with the consensus rating remaining at "Hold" despite some upgrades, and recent rating changes from firms like Zacks Research and Wall Street Zen to "Hold" suggest that the stock is fairly valued and may not offer significant upside in the immediate term.
  • The company is undergoing a restructuring plan that involves cutting 580 jobs, which could lead to short-term operational disruptions and increased costs associated with workforce reductions, potentially impacting near-term profitability and employee morale.
  • Short interest in the stock has been relatively high, with approximately 8.58 million shares shorted as of the most recent record date, indicating that a significant portion of the market is betting against the stock's performance, which could lead to increased volatility and downward pressure on the price.
