Last fall, the fund pounced on Zimmer Holdings (ZMH), a leading maker of orthopedic implants and surgical products, establishing a 1.50% stake, when a perfect storm hit. Management had just announced slowing growth across its portfolio. This had followed the departure of the CEO and CFO, in settling a case that accused the company of having paid surgeons to use its products, and lower-than-expected currency gains from international sales. The result: The stock fell from $77 to $66 in one day. But Sloan felt none of the news altered the company's longer-term outlook. "We were still looking at 33% operating margins, return on invested capital of 16%, and a $1 billion share buyback that's now half realized," says Sloan, "but a 2008 PE of 15 instead of 18, which is where we think it should be." His average cost is $66. The stock was trading at $68 on Friday. And Sloan sees it heading to $85.

The Warsaw, Indiana-based knee and hip implant maker announced it has approved an additional $1.25 billion stock buyback program. The authorization adds to the remaining capacity under the current repurchase program, which totaled $477 million as of March 31.

The orthopedic-device maker also recently reported profit of $239.3 million, or $1.02 a share -- up just 3% from $233.4 million, or 98 cents a share, in the 2007 period -- and $244.3 million, or $1.04 a share, on an adjusted basis. Sales rose 11% to $1.06 billion, in line with the Thomson Financial consensus target of $1.04 a share on revenue of $1.06 billion.

"Sales results reflect continued growth in our reconstructive business and we expect to achieve higher levels of penetration with new products as the year progresses," said Zimmer President and Chief Executive David Dvorak.

Despite sales growth being slower than expected, Lehman Brothers analyst Bob Hopkins reaffirmed an "Overweight" rating on the stock. He felt there were one-time factors involved in the slowdown and growth should speed up. Deutsche Bank-North America analyst Tao Levy also reaffirmed a "Buy" rating.
