CG: Pandemic Pets Dec 22, 2020

Show notes

It should come as no surprise that the pandemic has accelerated growth in the pet industry. It should come as even less surprise that e-commerce pet retailers, like Chewy, have been natural beneficiaries of this growth. What may come as a surprise, however, is a recent company’s plan to IPO. Should investors be excited about PetCo’s S-1? Join Asit Sharma and Emily Flippen as they talk about Chewy’s latest quarter and if investors should be drooling over PetCo.

Stocks: Chewy (CHWY), PetCo (N/L: WOOF)
