Zoetis - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.

The stock has experienced a decrease in ownership by some insiders, which could signal a lack of confidence in the company's short-term performance.
Despite a strong market capitalization of $73.73 billion, the price-to-earnings ratio of 30.12 may indicate that the stock is overvalued compared to its earnings, which could deter value-focused investors.
The company has a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.09, suggesting that it has a relatively high level of debt compared to equity, which could pose risks in times of economic downturns.
Recent fluctuations in stock price, with a 52-week range from $144.80 to $200.33, may indicate volatility that could be concerning for risk-averse investors.
While the company has shown growth, the PEG ratio of 2.78 suggests that the stock may not be growing fast enough relative to its price, which could be a red flag for growth investors.
