Zoetis (ZTS) is under pressure after first quarter 2026 earnings missed analyst forecasts and management cut full year revenue and earnings guidance, highlighting softer U.S. companion animal demand and tougher competition in dermatology and pain.<\/p>\n

See our latest analysis for Zoetis.<\/a><\/p>\n

That weaker U.S. companion animal backdrop is showing up clearly in the share price, with Zoetis stock down about 38.5% on a 1 month share price basis and the 1 year total shareholder return declining roughly 53.8%. This suggests momentum has faded as investors reassess risk and growth expectations.<\/p>\n
