# Zoetis Inc. (ZTS) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Technology / IT Services. Price $75.81, market value $31.3 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 12.4×** (5-yr avg 34.4×, 3-yr avg 29.0×). Zoetis Inc. trades at 12.4× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 34.4×: cheap by its own standards. The Technology median in the September 2026 study was 32.1×. Forward P/E is 11.6×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 1.15**. A PEG of 1.15 is in the range usually read as fairly priced for its growth.
- **Price / sales: 3.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 3.3×.
- **Price / book: 9.2×**. The shares trade at 9.2× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 7.6%** (5-yr avg 2.6%). Free cash flow equals 7.6% of the market value, above its five-year average of 2.6%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 8.1%**. The inverse of the P/E: 8.1% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Net margin: 28.2%**. 28.2% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 78.3%**. A 78.3% return on equity is extremely high; check whether buybacks or debt have shrunk the equity base, which flatters the ratio.
- **Return on assets: 17.1%**. Each dollar of assets produces 17.1% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 2.3%** (3-yr 5.4%/yr, 5-yr 7.2%/yr). Revenue grew 2.3% over the last year, against 7.2% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 10.1%** (3-yr 10.3%/yr, 5-yr 12.0%/yr). Earnings per share rose 10.1%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 19.9%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 19.9% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 2.65**. Debt is 2.65 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Piotroski F-score: 4/9**. 4 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 2.80%** ($2.06 per share, trailing). Zoetis Inc. yields 2.80%, a modest yield more typical of a growth-oriented payer.
