<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Zimmer Biomet Holdings's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Zimmer Biomet Holdings's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.32%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Earnings Beats

Zimmer Biomet Q3 2024 Adj. EPS $1.74, Inline, Sales $1.824B Beat $1.795B Estimate

Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/zbh#NYSE">ZBH</a>) is scheduled to report third-quarter 2024 results on Oct. 30, before market open.
In the last reported quarter, the company&#39;s earnings of $2.01 beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.5%. ZBH beat on earnings in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 2.84%.
<h2>ZBH&#39;s Q3 Estimates</h2>
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $1.81 billion, suggesting a 3.3% rise from the year-ago reported figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pinned at $1.75 per share, indicating a 6.1% improvement from the year-ago reported numbers.
<h2>Estimate Revision Trend Ahead of ZBH&#39;s Q3 Earnings</h2>
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings has moved south 1.1%&nbsp; to $1.75 per share in the past 30 days.
Let&#39;s briefly look at how things might have shaped up for this MedTech major in the to-be-reported quarter.
<h2>Factors at Play</h2>
Zimmer Biomet is likely to have experienced strong growth in the&nbsp;third quarter on the back of strong performance from its business segments.
The Hip business is expected to have witnessed growth due to the company&#39;s comprehensive suite of solutions in navigation in direct anterior stems and surgical impactors.
While this business lagged&nbsp;the broader market during the second quarter due to key portfolio gaps, the company has made significant progress with new product introductions. During the same quarter, Zimmer Biomet launched the&nbsp;surgical impactor HAMMR, whose adoption has been great so far. Additionally, during the&nbsp;third-quarter, the company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire OrthoGrid Systems, Inc. The acquisition includes OrthoGrid&#39;s AI-powered, fluoroscopy-based surgical assistance platform&nbsp;Hip AI, as well as two additional FDA-cleared orthopedic applications and over 40 patents.
Outside the United States, ZBH expects to launch a second generation of hip posterior robotics. Banking on these developments, the company is expected to report a strong revenue increase within this category in the third quarter.
Within the Knees business, the company faced some challenges from a supply standpoint. These are high ASP cases.
<h2>Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise</h2>
<div class="chart_embed"><img alt="Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/charts/50/1729087518.png" style="height:263px; width:544px" title="" />
Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. price-eps-surprise | Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. Quote
</div>
Although this business in the United States was softer than expected, the company delivered knee growth of 5% year over year in the second quarter. We expect this growth trend to have continued in the third quarter as well.&nbsp;
The company expects to launch two different ROSA for knees in the coming three to eight quarters. In addition to ROSA, Zimmer Biomet has a partnership with THINK Surgical for TMINI &mdash; a&nbsp;miniature handheld robotic system for total knee arthroplasty. TMINI was supposed to be released in the second half of 2024. These developments might have had a positive impact on the company&#39;s third-quarter top-line performance.
In the second quarter, the S.E.T business grew mid-single digits, led by key focus areas of CMFT, upper extremities and sports growing on average high-single digits. The second quarter of 2024 was the third quarter in a row to experience such growth. Every single business within S.E.T. grew for the first time in the&nbsp;second quarter. We expect this trend to have continued in the third quarter as well.
<h2>What Our Model Suggests for ZBH</h2>
Per our proven model, a stock with a positive&nbsp;Earnings ESP&nbsp;and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) has a higher chance of beating estimates. This is not the case here, as you can see below.
Earnings ESP: Zimmer Biomet has an Earnings ESP of -1.65%%.
Zacks Rank: The company currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Strong).
<h2>Stocks Worth a Look</h2>
Here are some medical stocks worth considering, as these have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat this reporting cycle.
Atea Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/avir#NASDAQ">AVIR</a>) has an Earnings ESP of +13.13% and a Zacks Rank #1 at present.
The company is expected to release third-quarter 2024 results on Nov. 13. AVIR&#39;s earnings surpassed estimates in two of the trailing four quarters and missed in the other two, the average surprise being 5.23%.
RadNet&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rdnt#NASDAQ">RDNT</a>)&nbsp;has an Earnings ESP of +20.00% and a Zacks Rank #2 at present. The company is expected to release third-quarter 2024 results on Nov. 13.
RDNT&#39;s earnings surpassed estimates in three of the trailing four quarters and broke even once, the average surprise being 98.23%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for RadNet&#39;s third-quarter EPS is expected to increase 21.4% from the year-ago quarter&#39;s reported numbers.
TransMedics Group&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tmdx#NASDAQ">TMDX</a>) has an Earnings ESP of +26.63% and a Zacks Rank #3 at present.
