Factors Likely to Impact Chewy’s Q2 Results

Management has been making technology upgrades for its website and online platforms to drive sales. Resiliency in the pet category and strength in value proposition have been positive.

Higher product demand, robust consumer engagement and growth in active customers have been steadily contributing to its results. Continued expansion of Autoship subscriptions, the broader adoption of healthcare services like pharmacy and vet clinics and the full-scale launch of the Chewy+ paid membership program have been yielding.
