Business Wire
Zoetis Inc. (NYSE:ZTS) today announced that its Board of
Directors has approved a multi-year $6 billion share repurchase
program as part of its capital allocation plans. The demand for
Zoetis’ innovative and market-leading portfolio has enabled the
company to execute its disciplined capital allocation strategy by
reinvesting in growth opportunities and returning capital to
shareholders, while delivering long-term value.
“Our consistently strong performance in recent years and
long-term business outlook continue to make Zoetis an attractive
investment opportunity,” said Wetteny Joseph, Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer at Zoetis. “This is Zoetis’
largest share repurchase program to date and reinforces our
commitment to our value proposition and our confidence in our
continued cash flow generation.”
The shares are expected to be repurchased over a period of up to
four years, and the program can be cancelled at any time. The
Company’s previous $3.5 billion share repurchase program, which was
approved in December 2021, is expected to be completed in 2024.
