Reason
HSBC lowered the firm's price target on Zoetis to $140 from $180 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares as part of a 2026 outlook for the pharma group. The firm believes the sector is well positioned to outperform in 2026, "even more so if AI panic kicks in." HSBC's preferred stocks are "growth bucket ideas," but says "fallen angels and value could work as well."

Equal Weight
Reason
Barclays initiated coverage of Zoetis with an Equal Weight rating and $136 price target. The firm rolled out coverage on the specialty pharmaceuticals industry with a neutral view, saying investor sentiment is improving as companies shift focus to innovation, margin expansion and de-leveraging. The group's pricing headwinds are easing while debt leverage is coming down, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Barclays sees "plenty of opportunity" as the sector "remains in a transition phase."
