What does Zoetis's quality score measure?+
Intrinsiqq's quality score weighs revenue and free-cash-flow growth, operating margins, return on invested capital, change in share count, and balance-sheet strength, each computed from ZTS's SEC filings rather than opinion or sentiment.

What is Zoetis's return on invested capital (ROIC)?+
Zoetis earns about 24.5% on its invested capital, which is exceptional. ROIC measures how much profit a company generates per dollar put to work; sustained ROIC above its cost of capital is one of the clearest signs of a real competitive moat. Compare it to ZTS's margins and growth on this scorecard to judge durability.
How profitable is Zoetis?+
Zoetis runs an operating margin of about 39.2% and a net margin of about 27.7%. Revenue has grown at roughly 7.2% a year recently. High, stable margins usually point to pricing power and operating discipline. Margins are most telling next to growth and returns on capital, all of which feed this quality score.
