Valuing Zimmer Biomet stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Zimmer Biomet's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Zimmer Biomet's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 815x. In other words, Zimmer Biomet shares trade at around 815x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Zimmer Biomet's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 38.5315. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Zimmer Biomet's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Zimmer Biomet's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $1.9 billion (£1.4 billion).

There are currently 2.2 million Zimmer Biomet shares held short by investors – that's known as Zimmer Biomet's "short interest". This figure is 8.2% up from 2.0 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Zimmer Biomet shares can be evaluated.
Zimmer Biomet's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Zimmer Biomet shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Zimmer Biomet shares traded daily (recently around 1.0 million). Zimmer Biomet's SIR currently stands at 2.12. In other words for every 100,000 Zimmer Biomet shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2120 shares are currently held short.
However Zimmer Biomet's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Zimmer Biomet shares, or, against the total number of tradable Zimmer Biomet shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Zimmer Biomet's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Zimmer Biomet shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0106% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Zimmer Biomet shares, roughly 11 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Zimmer Biomet.

That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.64% of the current stock value.

In Zimmer Biomet's case, that would currently equate to about $0.96 per share.
