Latest analysis

Updated Aug 5, 2026

Zimmer Biomet raises FY2026 organic growth guidance to 2.25%-3.25% on hip strength, 53% U.S. technology growth, and ahead-of-plan sales force transition.

Zimmer Biomet delivered Q2 2026 net sales of $2.177 billion, growing 4.8% reported and 4.0% organic constant currency, with U.S. hips accelerating to 5.9% growth and the Technology & Data segment expanding 21.5% — both above internal expectations. Management raised full-year 2026 organic constant currency guidance to 2.25%-3.25% (from 1%-3%) and adjusted EPS to $8.47-$8.59 (from $8.40-$8.55), citing sales force specialization ahead of plan, robust capital equipment demand, and Paragon 28 sustaining mid-teens growth. The most consequential forward signal is the iodine-coated hip platform in Japan — generating 40% ASP premium, competitive conversions, and demand outpacing supply — with active FDA pathway discussions underway for U.S. approval.
