Zacks‘ analyst wrote, “Zimmer’s second quarter adjusted EPS of $1.34 was ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a couple of cents while the 1.1% drop in revenue lagged the consensus estimate. Currency was a major dampener during the quarter that reduced revenues by 2.9%. We are encouraged to note stable volume trends in the reconstructive market accompanied by some improvement in the US. However, pricing pressure continues to remain a major headwind for the company. Meanwhile, Zimmer is on its way to achieve market growth based on its strong product portfolio, ageing demographics and expansion into emerging markets. In order to streamline its business, Zimmer plans to continue with its global restructuring program. We also remain concerned about the company narrowing its revenue outlook due to unfavorable currency, economic uncertainties and the tough competitive landscape. As a result, we maintain our Neutral’ recommendation.”
