Did ZTS Beat Earnings? Q4 2025 Results
Zoetis closed out fiscal 2025 on a firm note, posting fourth-quarter adjusted earnings of $1.48 per diluted share against a consensus estimate of $1.40, a beat of 5.71%, while revenue of $2.39 billion edged past the $2.36 billion estimate and grew 3.0% year over year. The headline driver was a robust international segment, which expanded 8% to $1.12 billion on broad-based strength in parasiticides, diagnostics, and livestock across cattle, fish, and poultry markets, more than offsetting a 2% decline in the U.S. segment where mAb osteoarthritis products Librela and Solensia pulled back. Full-year revenue reached $9.47 billion, with adjusted diluted EPS of $6.41 reflecting 10% organic operational growth. Analysts tracking the stock have pointed to rising pet spending and resilient livestock demand as durable tailwinds supporting the company's long-term profitability profile. Looking ahead, Zoetis guided fiscal 2026 revenue of $9.83 billion to $10.03 billion and adjusted diluted EPS of $7.00 to $7.10, underpinned by anticipated 2026 launches of its long-acting mAb pain therapies Lenivia and Portela in key international markets.
