Read MoreHide Full Article
The upcoming report from Zimmer Biomet (ZBH - Free Report) is expected to reveal quarterly earnings of $2.30 per share, indicating an increase of 4.6% compared to the year-ago period. Analysts forecast revenues of $2.01 billion, representing an increase of 3.7% year over year.
The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has undergone a downward revision of 0.1% in the past 30 days, bringing it to its present level. This represents how the covering analysts, as a whole, have reassessed their initial estimates during this timeframe.
Prior to a company's earnings release, it is of utmost importance to factor in any revisions made to the earnings projections.
