  • CG: Pandemic Pets

    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)
