Chewy, Inc. (CHWY-N) has shown a remarkable comeback in recent quarters, despite a temporary setback following a report that disappointed on margin expectations. The company recently announced impressive results, beating revenue and adjusted EBITDA forecasts while raising its full-year outlook. Notably, Chewy's active customer base reached 20.2 million, with record spending per active customer at $567.50, indicating strong market demand. The expansion of Chewy Vet Care clinics seeks to engage younger pet owners, a strategic move considering the growing pet adoption trend, which has increased by around 10% in the industry. As Chewy continues to innovate and execute well, including plans for a $500 million buyback, analysts remain optimistic about its growth potential amid heightened competition.

 It reports Wednesday. Their last 2 quarters have been strong.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

They reported last week a nice revenue and adjusted EBITDA beat, and raised their full-year forecast. And yet, shares plunged 7%, because shares came into the report hot, up 23% in November. CHWY forecast Q4 margins at 3-3.8%, while the street expected 3.9% and was disappointed. Buy on this dip because of strong numbers: 20.2 million active members, more than expected, and $567.50 spending per active customer, a record high, and pet adoption in the industry growing around 10%, a positive sign. Also, their six vet clinics are bringing in new customers, and they plan to open two more. Also, the clinics are expanding to Canada (Toronto).

TOP PICK

Once a dog, this American pet food maker is a comeback after reporting Q1 results. Shares jumped 30% after the company reported earnings per share (EPS) of US$0.15, which blew away street estimates by 291%. Meanwhile, revenues of US$2.9 billion (all USD)were in line. Net income more than tripled from a year ago to $67.3 million, or $0.15 per share while gross margins climbed 130 basis points to 29.7% and net margins increased 150 basis points to 2.3%. Growth has moderated, but profits are now consistent and growing. Analysts were impressed enough to raise Chewy's price target rose by 8.4% to US$25.12. So, how did the company beat the post-Covid slump? One step was recently opening Chewy Vet Care clinics, targeting younger, tech-savvy pet owners, who can see their pet's medical information displayed on interactive screens in the exam room but also access that data on their portable devices. This cohort of Millennials and GenZ'ers make up 46% of pet owners in the U.S., so penetrating this market through the clinics is a savvy move.

BUY

It's a comeback story after sliding post-Covid. Shares jumped 27% this week after reporting. They introduced pet care clinics that helps bring down pet care costs. They execute well. Gross margins have expanded. They announced a $500 million buyback and are succeeding in the face of Amazon.

DON'T BUY

Is astonished these shares have fallen so far, because so many use their products, but the entire pet sector is in the doghouse.

DON'T BUY

They need to make profits. They don't make money.

BUY
This online pet food store sold off last week and that was a mistake. Even after Covid, pets are highly desirable. This stock peaked during Covid (after the company went public in mid-2019) and got a boost from the meme stock traders. It bottomed above $20 last May, but has rebounded 103% since at one point. Their active customer base roughly doubled before and during Covid and sales exploded. In 2021, 70% of its sales automatically renewed, so there's hope that Chewy can endure after Covid. But the stock became overvalued last year and the market turned against pandemic plays. He likes it now, because they have pivoted to profitability. At early June they reported a better than expected quarter and a profit (expectations were very low though). Last Thursday's report beat the number of active customers and sales (up 14.5% YOY) and raised their full-year margin forecast. Chewy isn't cheap, but if they keep putting up great numbers, then this is a winner.
BUY
They just reported. He's long Chewy. People won't stop feeding their pets post-Covid. Chewy will break above $100 again, sooner than later.
BUY
People bought pets during the pandemic and they need to continue to feed those pets. With more pet owners, sales and revenues for CHWY will keep increasing. He continues to be long this.
BUY
Buy at $74? Yes! Their business is auto renewal which is the most profitable business in the world today.
DON'T BUY
A high multiple earnings stock that will come down. He likes their business a lot, but expect pain if you buy it now. It sells pet food online.
