Zoetis Stock Tumbles After Guidance Cut as Pet Owners Push Back on Vet Costs
Zoetis shares dropped about 20% after the company cut its 2026 outlook and missed first-quarter earnings estimates. U.S. companion-animal sales fell 11% amid fewer vet visits and increased competition. The company now expects 2026 adjusted earnings of $6.85 to $7.00 a share, down from a previous forecast of up to $7.10. U.S. revenue declined 8% to $1.1 billion.
