Mizuho also pointed out that management has already drawn attention to declining demand patterns and pressures on pet spending brought on by inflation. According to the firm, the company could possibly lower its guidance to the lower half of its preliminary FY26 guidance range.

Although Chewy still has long-term growth prospects in sectors including advertising, private-label goods, and veterinary services, the firm feels that investors are having difficulty finding short-term catalysts that could spur a comeback in the pet products market. Despite that, Mizuho’s projected price target offers an impressive upside potential in excess of 92%.

Furthermore, the current stock price factors in a high degree of negative sentiment, which ultimately establishes a highly favorable risk-to-reward profile for investors at current levels.
