Did CHWY Beat Earnings? Q1 2026 Results
Chewy kicked off fiscal 2026 with a clean beat on both the top and bottom lines, reinforcing the narrative that pet-category spending remains resilient even as broader consumer budgets tighten. The online pet retailer posted Q1 revenue of $3.12 billion, up 8.3% year over year and ahead of the $3.08 billion consensus estimate by 1.15%, while adjusted diluted EPS of $0.35 topped the $0.34 consensus by 3.15%. The clearest driver behind the revenue outperformance was the continued momentum in Autoship, Chewy's subscription-like recurring order program, which surged 14.8% to $2.56 billion and represented 82.2% of total net sales, up from 77.6% a year ago, a signal of deepening customer loyalty and more predictable revenue. Active customers grew 3.8% to 20.76 million, while net sales per active customer climbed 3.7% to $583. On the profitability side, adjusted EBITDA rose 18.3% to $192.70 million, with margin expanding 50 basis points to 6.2%, underscoring that Chewy is converting its top-line scale into meaningful earnings power.
