Chewy enjoys broad, bullish coverage from equity researchers. The stock currently has 14 ratings — 7 Strong Buys, 6 Buys, and 1 Hold. See the ratings
For example, Doug Anmuth of JP Morgan (a top 1% rated analyst) doubled down on a Strong Buy rating on April 8, but cut his price target from $40 to $36.
According to JP Morgan's survey of economists, there is a 60% likelihood of a recession in 2025 and a fall in real U.S. GDP in 2H 2025, Anmuth told readers. Names associated with digital advertising, online travel, and e-commerce are the most vulnerable, the analyst said.
Nicholas Jones of JMP Securities (also a top 1% rated analyst) reiterated a Buy rating on April 14 and slashed his price target from $40 to $39.
In an e-commerce sector note, Jones contextualized their price target cut on Chewy by saying that names in the group will be impacted to varying degrees by the recent tariff announcements and removal of the de minimis exception for goods from China and Hong Kong.
Citizens JMP also sees Chewy as well-positioned because consumables and healthcare are a large percentage of its revenue, the analyst said.
CHWY stock carries an overall Zen Rating of B, and currently ranks in the top 12% of equities.
Chewy Shares rank highly in terms of Financials and Sentiment — in the top 8% and top 15%, to be exact. (See all 7 Zen Component Grades here >)

Nowak reported that a deep dive into their Technology (Internet) sector coverage area catalyzed their price target cut on Meta Platforms.
Considering the expected macro and tariff consequences on e-commerce and digital ads names, they said they cut their estimates "across the board" for their North American portfolio.
Truist Securities analyst Youssef Squali (a top 3% rated analyst) also doubled down on a Strong Buy rating, while cutting his 12-month price forecast from $770 to $700.
Citing the negative effects of tariffs, especially on direct-to-consumer imports from China, and a weakening American consumer market, the analyst reduced their growth projections on Meta Platforms.
