On September 9, Chewy, Inc. fell 6.1% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $21.80 per share, with turnover of $9.64 million. The decline was triggered by the company's fiscal Q2 earnings release, in which revenue fell short of some institutional estimates against a backdrop of previously reduced full-year sales guidance.
Chewy reported fiscal Q2 adjusted earnings of $0.36 per diluted share, up 9.1% year-over-year and in line with consensus. However, net sales of $3.33 billion, while up 7.4% year-over-year, missed certain analyst projections of $3.361 billion. The company had already cut its fiscal 2026 net sales guidance to $13.40–$13.55 billion from $13.60–$13.75 billion following Q1 results, citing a more cautious consumer spending environment. UBS had flagged the Q2 print as a key test for the credibility of management's second-half outlook, noting that weaker premiumization and attach rates could constrain growth to the mid-single-digit range. Options markets had priced in a 16.37% implied move ahead of the report, with the current decline falling within that range. The average analyst rating remains overweight with a mean price target of $31.09.
