Zoetis Inc. is currently running 19.2% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against ZTS's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 34th percentile — on the quiet side for this stock, against a typical reading of 22.4%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

ZTS is trading -71.1% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -19.6%, and the deepest was -43.6% in 2022. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits -27.5% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 3rd percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year ZTS closed higher on 46% of sessions, and it is currently 2 sessions into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 13 years of records, ZTS finished the month higher 4 of 13 times, with a median return of -1.6% and an average of -1.4%. Its strongest month historically has been July at +3.7% on average, its weakest March at -2.9%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: ZTS has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 80 of 3,267 sessions (2.4% of the time), with the largest gaps running +7.7% and -6.9%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

Across the last 3 dated reports on file, ZTS moved an average of 4.3% in the session after earnings, closing higher 1 of those 3 times, with a median move of -5.6% and a largest of -6.2%.

All figures computed from 3,268 daily closes between 2013-10-07 and 2026-10-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against ZTS's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
