Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Consumer Cyclical / Internet & Direct Marketing Retail. Price $23.66, market value $9.7 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 39.4×** (5-yr avg 174.2×, 3-yr avg 104.7×). Chewy Inc. trades at 39.4× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 174.2×: cheap by its own standards. The Consumer Cyclical median in the September 2026 study was 19.5×. Forward P/E is 12.9×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / sales: 0.8×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.8×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 22.9×**. The shares trade at 22.9× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 6.0%** (5-yr avg 2.4%). Free cash flow equals 6.0% of the market value, above its five-year average of 2.4%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 2.5%**. The inverse of the P/E: 2.5% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 29.9%**. Chewy Inc. keeps 29.9% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: 2.4%**. 2.4% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 1.8%**. 1.8% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 44.7%**. 44.7% on shareholders' equity is excellent if it is not driven by leverage; sustained above 20% usually signals a competitive advantage.
- **Return on assets: 7.6%**. Each dollar of assets produces 7.6% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 6.2%** (3-yr 7.6%/yr, 5-yr 12.0%/yr). Revenue grew 6.2% over the last year, against 12.0% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -42.9%** (3-yr 63.0%/yr). Earnings per share fell 42.9%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 67.6%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 67.6% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health
- **Current ratio: 0.88** (quick 0.88). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Altman Z-score: 6.13**. A Z-score of 6.13 places the company in the safe zone for bankruptcy risk.
- **Piotroski F-score: 6/9**. 6 of 9 checks pass: mixed.
