Chewy is an e-commerce retailer of pet food and pet supplies, as well as of pet medication and insurance. It provides products for dogs, cats, fish, birds, small pets, horses, and reptiles. Established under the name 'Mr. Chewy' in 2011, the company was purchased by PetSmart in 2017 but continued to operate as an independent business. It went public in 2019. PetSmart distributed its remaining shares of Chewy about two years later. Based in Plantation, Florida, Chewy has approximately 18,000 employees. It currently operates only in the U.S.

U.S. stocks indices are lower at midday on Friday, seemingly on track to end a very busy week on the downside for the day -- but solidly higher for the week. With the most-recent interest-rate impact having now been felt, next month's start of earnings season, the ongoing presidential-election newsfeed, and volatile geopolitical events appear to be the likely catalysts for investors in the days and weeks ahead.

Chewy is the largest e-commerce pet care retailer in the US, generating $11.2 billion in 2023 sales across pet food, treats, hard goods, and pharmacy categories. The firm was founded in 2011, acquired by PetSmart in 2017, and tapped public markets as a stand-alone company in 2019 after spending a couple of years developing under the aegis of the pet superstore chain. The firm generates sales from pet food, treats, over-the-counter medications, medical prescription fulfillment, and hard goods, like crates, leashes, and bowls.
