William Blair analyst Brandon Vazquez downgraded Zoetis Inc. (NYSE: ZTS) from Outperform to Market Perform.

The analyst comments "We previously held to our Outperform rating as we saw a path to reaching the low end of prior guidance. Admittedly, it was a narrow path, but with shares at 10 times EPS we thought the risk-to-reward was worth sticking to our rating. Second-quarter results missed on all the marks we needed for this to happen, including worse-thanexpected derm declines, continued Trio share loss, and continued declines in U.S. Librela."
