TOP PICK
Zoetis Inc
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly

We select ZTS, the manufacturer of livestock and companion animal pharmaceuticals as a TOP PICK.  Quarterly cash flow is growing, while shares are bought back.  It has a strong market position, confirmed by its 49% ROE.  Its modest dividend is supported by a payout ratio of 30% of cash flow.  Animal care is a certain and growing sector.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $140, looking to achieve $226 — upside potential of 29%.  Yield 0.9%

(Analysts’ price target is $225.85)

BUY
Zoetis Inc
Net income to free cashflow conversion went down.

That conversion metric is a good one. Transitioning some drugs, so growth has slowed, impacting free cashflow. Increase in R&D taking up capital. New drugs in pipeline. Story still stands. Good value compounder over time.

WEAK BUY
Zoetis Inc

Their last quarter was weak, but he thinks it's a one-off event. Be believes in the CEO and company long term.

Zoetis Inc

Stock's done well, especially with recent rally. For new money, wait for pullback, and we'll get that eventually. Great products, especially launch of drug for canine arthritic pain. Pet division is somewhat recession-resistant.

(A Top Pick Dec 22/22, Up 22%)

It has two parts in animal healthcare: livestock and pet care and it is the second part which has done very well. The drugs component has advantages over regular pharma companies and there are great products in the pipelines. There are only two other big players and Zoetis is the biggest of the three.

DON'T BUY
Zoetis Inc

Likes their growth. Spending on pets remains steady, a plus. But the PE is 35x, so no.

Spinoff from Pfizer in animal health.
Pet spending on the rise.
Current valuation too high. Wait before buying.
Strong business overall.

PAST TOP PICK
Zoetis Inc
(A Top Pick Oct 17/22, Up 24%)

It is in the animal heath care business with two divisions: livestock and pet care which is the biggest division with lots of growth. Insurance is not very involved in the pet care business, so is not as powerful a component. Also drugs for animals generally get faster approval. Buy now on this pullback.

TOP PICK
Zoetis Inc

Industry leader in pet and livestock space. Grows about 8% a year, industry average is 5%. Great leadership. 40% EBITDA margins. Growth flows to the bottom line, really nice free cashflow. 

Never gets cheap, but you want the exposure for the long term. Stronger pricing power than traditional pharma, doesn't have the competition from generics. Yield is 0.77%.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

ZTS has demonstrated consistent, stable and recurring revenue growth, and is now trading at a 30.3X forward P/E, which has come down from its peak of ~39X in 2020. It has shown great margin expansion over the years and it uses all of its free cash flows and more to repurchase shares and issue a dividend. The balance sheet is OK, and it has a decent history of beating earnings estimates. A lot of the value in ZTS is driven by its combination of margin expansion and aggressive share buyback plan. We would be comfortable with the name over a 3 to 5 year horizon due to its strong free cash flow generation, shareholder-friendly management team, and strong margins, but it does trade at a premium valuation and its balance sheet could be stronger. We would be comfortable averaging into ZTS over time.

They lead in pets' health. It thrived during Covid, but so did the PE, so rising rates have impacted them. However, pet ownership remains strong and even getting younger with more millennials buying pets. Clinics are open now. Spending per visit is up. They cover 8 species. Drug development for pets is shorter with less competition and longer shelf life. A new growth drug tackles ticks and fleas, and will launch a painkiller for dogs that looks promising.

It is a higher growth name and is the world's largest player in animal care. He still likes it - people still spend money on pharmaceuticals even in a downturn.

BUY
Zoetis Inc

Long owned this. A great pipeline of products in their pet business. Fine balance sheet. People spend $3,000 annually on their pet. Their livestock business will come back. This did well during Covid, but shares fell back after. He expects strong quarters of growth ahead.
