Is Now An Opportune Moment To Examine Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:ZBH)?

Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:ZBH) received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the NYSE over the last few months, increasing to US$143 at one point, and dropping to the lows of US$122. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price. A question to answer is whether Zimmer Biomet Holdings' current trading price of US$133 reflective of the actual value of the large-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at Zimmer Biomet Holdings’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

What's The Opportunity In Zimmer Biomet Holdings?

According to my valuation model, Zimmer Biomet Holdings seems to be fairly priced at around 3.08% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Zimmer Biomet Holdings today, you’d be paying a relatively fair price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is $129.10, there’s only an insignificant downside when the price falls to its real value. Although, there may be an opportunity to buy in the future. This is because Zimmer Biomet Holdings’s beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to the rest of the market. If the market is bearish, the company’s shares will likely fall by more than the rest of the market, providing a prime buying opportunity.

Can we expect growth from Zimmer Biomet Holdings?

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. Although value investors would argue that it’s the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. Zimmer Biomet Holdings' earnings over the next few years are expected to double, indicating a very optimistic future ahead. This should lead to stronger cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? ZBH’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the track record of its management team. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough confidence to invest in the company should the price drop below its fair value?

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on ZBH, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for the company, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
