Did CHWY Beat Earnings? Q3 2026 Results
Chewy posted a clean beat across both top and bottom lines in fiscal Q3 2026, reinforcing its case as one of the more disciplined growers in e-commerce. The online pet retailer reported adjusted diluted EPS of $0.32, ahead of the $0.30 consensus by 5.40%, while revenue of $3.12 billion edged past estimates by 0.66% and grew 8.3% year over year. The more compelling story, however, was margin expansion: adjusted EBITDA climbed 30.9% to $180.90 million, with profits clearly outrunning sales, a dynamic that has become something of a theme among consumer brands navigating a selective spending environment, <a href="https://247wallst.com/investing/2025/10/30/hershey-shares-slide-despite-strong-q3-earnings-and-revised-full-year-guidance/">not always rewarded by markets</a>. The gains were underpinned by Autoship, whose sales rose 13.6% to $2.61 billion and represented 83.9% of total net sales, up from 80.0% a year ago, signaling deepening customer loyalty. Active customers grew 4.9% to 21.16 million, with per-customer spending rising an equal 4.9% to $595, pointing to both breadth and depth of engagement.
