Petco Loses and Still Wins 🐶

The Petco Health and Wellness Company $WOOF ( ▼ 2.32% ) posted awful financial results on Wednesday, yet the stock jumped 9.84% in after-hours trading.

Financials: Petco reported a loss of 5 cents per share and revenue of $1.55 billion in the past quarter; both were lower than expected.

Powering the Story: The company also announced plans to close 20 to 30 stores in 2025, which delighted investors.

Early Bird’s Nest Egg Gains: Closing 20 to 30 underperforming stores in 2025 is considered a positive move for Petco. It can improve profitability, help Petco allocate resources better, and allow Petco to focus on high-performing locations.

Final Thoughts: With the stock down 40% this year, the company wants to cut costs.

Final Thoughts: Economic uncertainty is not good for Bitcoin.
