Druckenmiller makes investing look so easy, being early to spot obesity stocks, then NVIDIA, shorting 10Y treasuries. Not a single down year in 30+ career.
I guess this is real mastery, when complex things seem so obvious… https://t.co/S9EAcdvhbu

A sober valuation analysis on $ZTS 🧘🏽♂️
•NTM P/E Ratio: 28.33x
•10-Year Mean: 30.98x
•NTM FCF Yield: 3.21%
•10-Year Mean: 3.26%
As you can see, $ZTS appears to be trading near fair value
Going forward, investors can receive ~9% MORE in earnings per share & ~2% LESS in FCF per share 🧠***
Before we get into valuation, let’s take a look at why $ZTS is a great business
BALANCE SHEET✅
•Cash & Short-Term Inv: $1.71B
•Long-Term Debt: $6.59B
$ZTS has a strong balance sheet, an ok BBB S&P Credit Rating & 12x FFO Interest Coverage
RETURN ON CAPITAL✅
•2019: 21.4%
•2020: 19.9%
•2021: 24.1%
•2022: 23.1%
•2023: 25.7%
•LTM: 27.4
RETURN ON EQUITY✅
•2019: 61.3%
•2020: 50.5%
•2021: 48.9%
•2022: 47.2%
•2023: 49.8%
•LTM: 47.3%
$ZTS has strong return metrics, highlighting the financial efficiency of the business
REVENUES🆗
•2013: $4.56B
•2023: $8.54B
•CAGR: 6.47%
FREE CASH FLOW✅
•2013: $497.00M
•2023: $1.62B
•CAGR: 12.54%
NORMALIZED EPS✅
•2013: $1.42
•2023: $5.32
•CAGR: 14.12%
*you’ll notice stronger CAGR in FCF & EPS mainly due to margin expansion, which should continue (e.g. net income margins — from 2013 to 2023 — grew from 11.1% to 26.6%, respectively)
SHARE BUYBACKS✅
•2013 Shares Outstanding: 500.32M
•LTM Shares Outstanding: 457.09M
By reducing its shares outstanding ~8.6%, $ZTS increased its EPS by ~9.4% (assuming 0 growth)
MARGINS✅
•LTM Gross Margins: 70.1%
•LTM Operating Margins: 36.5%
•LTM Net Income Margins: 26.6%
***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠
As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~9% MORE in EPS & ~2% LESS in FCF per share
Using Benjamin Graham’s 2G rule of thumb, $ZTS has to grow earnings at a 14.17% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation
Today, analysts anticipate 2025 - 2026 EPS growth over the next few years to be less than the (14.17%) required growth rate:
2024E: $5.86 (10.2% YoY) *FY Dec
2025E: $6.41 (9.4% YoY)
2026E: $7.13 (11.1% YoY)
$ZTS has an excellent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so let’s assume $ZTS ends 2026 with $7.13 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples
32x P/E: $228.16💵 … ~13.8% CAGR
30x P/E: $213.90💵 … ~10.5% CAGR
28x P/E: $199.64💵 … ~7.0% CAGR
26x P/E: $185.38💵 … ~3.4% CAGR
As you can see, $ZTS appears to have attractive return potential IF we assume >30x earnings (a multiple near its 10-year mean & multiple justified by its moat & exemplary capital allocation)
However, those buying $ZTS today at $176💵 are buying it for a fair price, with little margin of safety
I’d be more interested in $ZTS closer to $160💵 (10% below today’s price) where I can reasonably expect ~12% CAGR while assuming a 28x end multiple, ensuring some margin of safety
