Zachary Fadem has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors influencing Petco Health and Wellness Company’s current market position. Despite the company’s impressive Q2 profits and signs of progress in its turnaround initiatives, the overall sales performance remains subdued, and the company faces significant competition in its category. These factors contribute to a cautious outlook, prompting a Hold rating.
While the company’s EBITDA guidance for 2025 has improved, and there are potential long-term opportunities, ongoing sales declines and market share losses present challenges. Additionally, the impact of tariffs adds uncertainty to the company’s performance in the latter half of the year. Fadem is waiting for more concrete signs of a positive shift in top-line growth before considering a more favorable rating.
According to TipRanks, Fadem is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 11.7% and a 65.13% success rate. Fadem covers the Consumer Cyclical sector, focusing on stocks such as O’Reilly Auto, Home Depot, and Lowe’s.
