CHWY Stock Recent News

US stocks remain hard-pressed for meaningful recovery after President Trump slapped Chinese imports with an even higher 104% tariffs.   The benchmark index, at one point, was seen trading as much as 20% below its year-to-date high this month.

Stock recommendations all come with caveats at this point. The market can't get real relief with so much ongoing uncertainty.

It's difficult to see upside for stocks when pessimism is pervasive, but as investors were reminded in 2022, buying shares of growing companies amid fear on Wall Street can earn you monster returns later on. Worries over tariffs are gripping Wall Street right now, but there are stocks ready to soar based on their business opportunities.

People are increasingly treating their pets like family members, and Chewy (CHWY -6.53%) has taken advantage of this trend to become the leading seller of pet food and accessories.

In recent times, investors have focused on the potential impact of President Trump's import tariffs on the economy -- and that's upset the performance of growth stocks, with the idea that they could be the first to experience pressure if the economy weakens. The growth-heavy Nasdaq and the broader S&P 500 each shifted into correction territory in March, and though they've both emerged from the zone, positive momentum hasn't yet returned to the market.
