WOOF Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Petco Health and Wellness Co Inc has demonstrated a strong operational performance highlighted by an expansion of gross margin by approximately 120 basis points year-over-year, driven by improvements in both product and service profitability. Additionally, the company has effectively enhanced EBITDA margin through better inventory management and pricing strategies, while management has increased its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance despite navigating challenges such as tariff impacts. Lastly, strategic initiatives, including store closures and enhanced vendor partnerships, position the company favorably for continued growth, supported by an upward trend in the pet care market as consumer behavior shifts.
Bears say
Petco Health and Wellness's net sales experienced a year-over-year decline of 2.3%, which included a 1.6% decrease in comparable sales, indicating a potential ongoing loss of market share. The company's guidance for third-quarter 2025 suggests additional challenges, with expectations of low-single-digit declines in net sales, and concerns over margin pressure due to shifts in product mix and competition from e-commerce peers remain significant. Furthermore, only 34% of sales in 2024 derived from supplies and companion animals, down from 44%, highlighting a troubling trend as Petco faces increased competition in the online market for commoditized products like pet food.
