Market Cap $10B Today's Change (-0.25%) $0.06 Current Price $24.23 Price as of February 13, 2026 at 3:58 PM ET Its stock is down, making its price more attractive. If you're looking to add a potentially powerful grower to your long-term stock portfolio, I've got a stock, recently trading for $24.23 per share, to suggest: Chewy, the retailer specializing in products and services for pets. If you look at its recent stock performance, though, it's not encouraging: Time Period | Average Annual Return Past 1 year | (35.31%) Past 3 years | (18.64%) Past 5 years | (27.19%) Source: Data from Morningstar.com as of Feb. 12, 2026. Yikes, right? But remember -- as investors, we need to be looking forward, not back. We need to be thinking about how the company will perform from here on out. After all, if it sported a track record of double-digit gains, we couldn't be sure that they would continue. Chewy Today's Change (-0.25%) $-0.06 Current Price $24.23 Key Data Points Market Cap $10B Day's Range $24.02 - $24.68 52wk Range $24.02 - $48.62 Volume 197K Avg Vol 7.7M Gross Margin 28.58% Here's how Chewy (and, most likely, your other investments) could make you a millionaire: Growing at 8% For | $12,000 Invested Annually 5 years $70,399 10 years $173,839 15 years $325,825 20 years $549,144 25 years $877,271 30 years $1,359,399 35 years $2,067,802 40 years $3,108,678 Calculations by author via Investor.gov. Here's why Chewy seems a promising proposition: - It's growing: Its third-quarter results featured revenue up 8.3% year over year and gross profit margins rising by half a percentage point. - It's finding great Autoship service, which results in fairly reliable revenue and recently accounted for a whopping 84% of revenue! - Net sales per active customer have been inching up in recent years. - Its stock seems reasonably priced, too, with a recent forward-looking price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 24 well below its five-year average of 73, and a recent price-to-sales ratio of 0.82, well below its five-year average of 1.35. It does face risks, such as competition from Amazon and Walmart, but it's grown despite them. And its customers are especially loyal to Chewy. I wouldn't count on Chewy alone to carry you to millionaire status, but it could certainly be one of the growth stocks and/or growth funds that does.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise.
