Sure, I get it. Here’s my take on the re-imagined version:
—
Okay, so Chewy’s got this big thing going on. They’re diving headfirst into the world of vet clinics. Now, I don’t know who’s more excited, them or their shareholders. Morgan Stanley, or more specifically this guy Nathan Feather, seems pretty jazzed about it. He’s rating Chewy overweight and throwing around a $50 price tag like it’s nothing. Honestly, it all sounds like a bunch of Wall Street mambo-jumbo to me, but Feather seems to believe there’s a chance Chewy could hit $75 per share. I mean, that’s nuts! That’s a 73% jump if everything goes right.
Feather and his crew put out this… I don’t know, 50-page Bible or something on the whole situation. They’re saying the clinic stuff is a “structural accelerant.” Nope, I’ve got no clue what that fully means, but it sounds super important. They see it as another path to more customers and better margins, whatever that really means in the day-to-day.
And get this, Chewy kicked off their first vet clinic last year. They’re aiming at this $40 billion chunk of the pet market. Feather’s talking about how Chewy could dominate. Why? Because they’ve got this crazy customer love thing going, plus some serious health and tech mojo. Every hundred clinics supposedly could bring in $50 million before a bunch of business expenses eat it up—and that’s like, $500 million to $800 million added in value. I mean, how do you even count that high?
Feather also rambles about some “halo effect” of running these clinics. Sounds fancy, but don’t ask me to explain it. Oh, and supposedly mergers and buyouts of other clinics are gonna be a part of Chewy’s master plan too.
The shares have already been on a wild ride, jumping 30% this year alone. And this is after a 42% jump last year! It’s like, are we talking about Chewy or some hot new tech startup? Anyway, who knows what 2025 holds, but if you’ve got stock in Chewy, maybe don’t forget to buckle up.

Okay, that was fun. Hope it hits the mark!
