Zoetis (ZTS) disappointed in parts of 2025 but still generates strong cash, carries a reasonable multiple versus guidance, and sits squarely in a structurally growing companion-animal market.

Latham Group (SWIM) looks actionable on a pullback. Positive momentum, structural cost cuts and modest free cash flow give the stock a foundation, while a reasonable enterprise valuation (EV/sales 1.84; EV/EBITDA 12.5) leaves room for a re-rating if top-line stabilizes.
