JPMorgan analyst Chris Schott believes Zoetis (ZTS) would bring "an attractive, durable, cash-pay business" to Valeant's portfolio should a merger occur. The Wall Street Journal last night reported that Valeant has approached Zoetis regarding a potential takeover. Schott sees the deal being minimally accretive to near-term earnings, and assumes Valeant pays $60 per share for Zoetis, or a 20% premium to Wednesday's closing price. The analyst thinks any offer would include a substantial equity component given Valeant's levered balance sheet following the Salix acquisition. Schott keeps an Overweight rating on Valeant and a Neutral rating on Zoetis.
