In the past six months, Petco's stock has been influenced by financial results, analyst sentiment, and a securities fraud class action lawsuit. The company reported its Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 financial results on March 11, 2026, where net sales decreased by 2.4% and comparable sales by 1.6% compared to the prior year. Despite this, adjusted EBITDA increased by 10.6% for Q4 2025, exceeding the company's outlook. For the full year 2025, adjusted EBITDA increased by 21.3%. Following these results, Petco's shares saw a significant rally, climbing over 34% on March 12, 2026, as the outlook for fiscal year 2026 projected flat to modest net sales growth and a potential return to positive comparable sales. Analyst sentiment has been mixed, with some downgrades and upgrades. A securities fraud class action lawsuit was filed against Petco, alleging that the company misled investors, but a Petco investor voluntarily dismissed proposed class claims in January 2026.
