Chewy recently released its latest 10-Q report for the quarter ended May 3, 2026. The company describes itself as an e-commerce business serving U.S. pet owners through retail websites and mobile applications, including its Autoship subscription program. Founded in 2010 and based in Plantation, Florida, Chewy sells pet food, treats, supplies, medications, pet-health products and related services.
In Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Chewy said its results should be read alongside the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter and the audited 2025 fiscal-year statements. The company said macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, elevated interest rates and broader uncertainty, have affected consumer spending patterns and could continue to influence demand, product mix, purchasing frequency and promotional activity. Chewy also said it uses a 52* or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to January 31; fiscal 2026 ends January 31, 2027.

Autoship customer sales increased to $2.833 billion from $2.563 billion, and Autoship sales as a percentage of net sales climbed to 84.4% from 82.2%.
