Questions about ZTS
What people ask.
Why is ZTS on Broken Stocks?
ZTS qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -53.2% from its rolling 252-day high of $160.48, set on 2025-08-20 — 365d ago.
Is ZTS a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. ZTS is down -53.2% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 365d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. ZTS is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is ZTS a buy?
Broken Stocks does not issue buy or sell recommendations. The list is a rules-based technical warning system. It tracks structural decline depth and recency — not company quality, management, fundamentals, or news. Always do your own research and consult a licensed advisor.
Where is ZTS trading inside its 52-week range?
At $75.02, ZTS sits 4.5% of the way from its 52-week low ($71.00) to its 52-week high ($160.48). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has ZTS been declining?
The current 53.2% decline accrued over 365d, which annualizes to roughly -53.2% per year. Annualized pace is a sanity check — a 30% decline in three months is a different signal than a 30% decline over two years.
How does ZTS compare to its sector?
There are 143 other Healthcare tickers on Broken Stocks: 69 Red, 35 Amber, 39 Watch, with 50 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -36.1% — ZTS's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does ZTS's earnings date affect its tier?
No. Tiering is decided purely by decline depth and recency of the rolling-high date. The earnings date on file (2026-08-06) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
