Daily Stock Analysis – Zoetis, the world's largest animal health company. Is it recession-proof?
Zoetis is the world's largest animal health company. Zoetis may very well be a recession-proof company. Despite the pandemic, Zoetis has prospered. The majority of the company's revenues come from the companion animal market. The stay-at-home phenomena have increased pet ownership and made pet owners more aware of their pet's physical situation. Couple that with Zoetis' animal drug development, the addition of point-of-care services and you have a company making the most of a bad situation. That is what I am talking about today on the Daily Stock Analysis.
