Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Give Their Take On 3 Health Care Stocks Delivering High-Dividend Yields

Dentsply Sirona (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XRAY#NASDAQ">XRAY</a>) and ZimVie Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZIMV#NASDAQ">ZIMV</a>) show below-market growth and have no meaningful upside, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according Needham analysts</a>.
What Happened: Needham downgraded the two dental companies to Hold.
ZimVie reported adjusted EPS of 27 cents, beating the consensus of 26 cents. The company&#8217;s sales of $111.52 million fell below the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/g43989465/zimvie-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-financial-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $113.4 million</a>.
Dentsply Sirona, meanwhile, reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share of 26 cents. It missed the street view of 43 cents. Quarterly sales of $905 million (down 10.6% year over year) missed the analyst consensus estimate of $920.56 million. Organic Sales <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/44011524/dentsply-sirona-q4-earnings-miss-10-sales-drop-soft-2025-outlook-and-more" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fell 10.7% year over year</a>.
In February, consumer sentiment in the U.S. declined. The University of Michigan&#8217;s Consumer Sentiment Index <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/02/43889033/consumer-sentiment-drops-10-unitedhealth-under-investigation-whats-driving-markets-friday" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">dropped to 64.7 from 71.1</a> in January (initially reported as 73.2). Dental firms&#8217; management looks at consumer sentiment to gauge consumers&#8217; willingness to spend on dental care.

Why It Matters: Interest rates play a key role because major purchases are usually financed. While some rate cuts may start around midyear, high interest rates will likely continue to weigh on capital demand.
Adding to these challenges, ongoing staffing shortages in the provider market could limit capacity even if patient demand increases.
Analyst David Saxon writes that Dentsply Sirona continues to lose market share. The company is overexposed to equipment, he argues. That has been one of the softest product categories in dentistry, he adds. Low-cost/value launches from competitors have created pricing pressure, and interest rates remain a headwind to demand.
ZimVie is also losing implant market share — 60% of its portfolio. The company has upcoming initiatives meant to drive improved execution. The analyst expects it will take time for these to get ZimVie&#8217;s growth to be at or above the market&#8217;s growth.
Needham also comments on tariff exposure on another dental player, Align Technology, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGN#NASDAQ">ALGN</a>).
The clear aligners and iTero sleeves are covered under the USMCA (US-Mexico-Canada Agreement) and are exempt from tariffs until April 2025
Price Action: ALGN stock is down 3.59% at $158.66. XRAY stock is down 2.28% at $14.98. ZIMV stock is down 6.64% at $11.81 at the last check Thursday.
