What Happened?

On August 5, 2025, Zoetis released its second quarter 2025 financial results, reporting weakened demand trends within its Companion Animal portfolio.

On this news, Zoetis’ stock price fell $5.69, or 3.8%, to close at $146.12 per share on August 5, 2025, thereby injuring investors.

Then, on November 4, 2025, Zoetis released its third quarter 2025 financial results, revealing slowed growth across its key Companion Animal franchises and disclosing continued weakness in sales of its canine pain treatment, Librela, and increased competitive pressure in dermatology and parasiticides. The Company also lowered its full year sales outlook.

On this news, Zoetis’ stock price fell $19.89, or 13.8%, to close at $124.46 per share on November 4, 2025.

Then, on May 7, 2026, Zoetis released its first quarter 2026 financial results, reporting slowing overall revenue growth, declining Companion Animal sales performance, and worsening results across its key dermatology and parasiticides franchises, stating that “competition intensified across key pet care categories, including dermatology and parasiticides,” that “pet owners demonstrated increased price sensitivity,” and that “these new entrants have not yet translated into overall market expansion.”

The Company also explained that “price has played a larger role in the decision process,” that “[s]hare loss is being amplified by a derm market with declining patient volume in the clinic,” and that contraction in the parasiticides market was negatively impacting prescription volumes and compliance. In addition, the Company admitted that it was operating in “a more price sensitive and competitive environment” and further reduced its 2026 growth outlook based on continuing competitive and operating pressures.

On this news, Zoetis’ stock price fell $23.91, or 21.5%, to close at $87.31 per share on May 7, 2026, thereby injuring investors further.

What Is The Lawsuit About?

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) veterinarian prescription growth and adoption of Zoetis’ Librela, a canine pain treatment, were sharply weakening as clinicians became more cautious following FDA safety warnings concerning serious neurological complications in dogs; (2) Zoetis’ Simparica Trio was losing significant market share to a lower priced competing canine parasiticide with broader indicated use in a slowing overall market; and (3) Zoetis’ dermatology products, Apoquel and Cytopoint, were losing substantial market share to a newly launched competing canine treatment; and (4) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Zoetis securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than July 27, 2026 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements.
