Given the company’s durable business model and the positive outlook for macro factors, we think the multiple will hold and upwards earnings revisions should drive shares higher. Valuation Summary We use a blend of DCF and multiples analysis (EV/EBITDA) to get to our 12- month price target of $98." (5/16/2018)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Zoetis faces stiff competition from other animal health medicines and vaccines companies like Merck Animal Health (the animal health division of Merck), Elanco (the animal health division of Eli Lilly), Bayer Animal Health (the animal health division of Bayer) and Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health (the animal health division of Boehringer Ingelheim). Disease outbreak among animals is a material cause of concern for Zoetis’ livestock products.In addition, companion animal health products are often directly prescribed and dispensed by veterinarians. The swine business is being impacted by competition for Fostera. These competitive pressures could adversely affect the company’s business and operating results. However, shares of the company have outperformed the industry in the last six months." (1/13/2018)
