The animal health company Zoetis (ZTS) journeyed through a group of events recently. The firm reported mixed results for the fourth quarter causing the stocks to fall. Despite these concerns, Zoetis' Q1 earnings and revenues significantly passed the estimates. However, they faced issues with arthritis drugs reportedly impacting pets, leading to a lawsuit and investigation. This situation did not sway its first-quarter 2024 results; the company saw strong growth in both revenue and net income. Regardless, ZTS fell on slower veterinary visits; hence earnings and revenues may have surpassed estimates but were trailed by shareholder returns. Encouragingly, Zoetis showcased growth in Q4 and the full year of 2023, despite facing safety concerns. They managed to gain even though the earnings for Q4 fell below estimates. Analysts have presented optimistic forecasts looking at the robust Q1 2024 results. Zoetis' five-year growth has resulted in significant gains for investors. The company has been under investigation and is now facing the possibility of an antitrust probe by the EU. Despite these challenges, Zoetis remains a favorite among many healthcare stocks, and investors still exhibit interest in the company. The firm exceeds earnings expectations for Q1, but a piece of recent news regarding their arthritis drugs causing illnesses in pets has made the stock slump.
