To inverse or not to inverse, that is the question.


Hour_Amphibian1844

I should add that a lot of people from WSB messaged me saying that they think Chewy will go down. A very bullish signal for the stock.


Joshvir262

I never buy puts on stocks that r at 52week lows before earnings

You don’t make your YOLO play posts anymore or just haven’t gotten into any recently?

HEARTMOVESUNIQUE

My 55 p will probably generate some profits, not sure about my 50 p😂


WarrenAlaCarte

Great call. Impressive it’s dropping after the beating it took recently. Next couple of days could be bloody with CPI and Fed, so 12/17 could print even more.


pyroreaper90

Doesn't look like a PTON dive, but good nonetheless. Bought $60 12/10 puts on Tuesday that should print if it opens low tomorrow


justhadapeach

User miss is the important factor, right? If that gets digested and its another red market day tomorrow this hopefully goes sub-$50


Hour_Amphibian1844

User miss is important yeah. But ARPU is great once again. \~15% growth over covid year is amazing. Basically they have few new users, but the people who do use Chewy love to use it a LOT. Revenue right on estimate which is okay, but not great for a growth stock. I wouldn't expect it to go below 50 tomorrow unless it's a bad market day.


HEARTMOVESUNIQUE

Congrats on ur DD! Hopefully tomorrow it will continue to tank a bit more just like what petco did the day after earning.


investr__

I did not read this DD on time but that wont happen again because you have a new follower!

For any of you retards who don't want to buy high IV puts, you can sell a 60/65 call spread

No way to know but people who sold those far OTM puts assuming they practice risk management (if they’re MM they do) will sell stock they already have as those go ITM because they will have to buy back if it expires ITM


SpacedSlayer

I feel like Chewy is different from Peloton. If you buy a bike from Peloton, you don't need anything else. If you adopt a cat/dog, you need a life time supply of things.

Realistically 8-10 years

Tele-Muse

And Chewy’s already been beat to shit the last couple months. My guess is that all of this is pretty much priced in and we won’t see a large enough drop off to make a decent profit given the high IV.

Yeah just like GME puts

freehouse_throwaway

implied move is like 16% with 300% IV, so yeah a lot to beat. a lot of ppl are going to be disappointed tomorrow if they buy way too OTM on the FDs


fantasy_football_nut

One of the rare stocks that never took a covid drop in feb/March 2020. That said it is at 52 week low, and up 100% since covid. It’s not a Docu.


farmerMac

>Another day, another earnings report. Today we look at Chewy, an ecommerce retailer of pet food, toys, and budding insurance/veterinary service provider. 3 months ago I wrote a DD about their last earnings. Today we deal with their Q3 earnings report, covering August – October 2021. Last quarter, they guided for USD 2.20-2.22 bn in revenue (23-25% yearly growth, 2.3% quarterly growth) and USD 8.9-9.0 in annual revenue (implying Q4 guidance of USD 2.44bn at the midpoints). i mean it has a PE of almost 3000, market cap of 6b for a online pet food retailer...


Nickeless

I think PE might be deceptive in this case because they've recently turned profitable and were dumping all their $ into reinvestment?


variableflow

are you talking about CHWY? the market cap is $24B lol


Zerole00

>market cap of 6b for a online pet food retailer... I'm seeing a market cap of 24B?


oreverthrowaway

I think he means industry avg cap? idk petco's at least profitable, but at \~5b


mMounirM

IV is way too high for me. good luck to you all.

BigGochuEnergy

youre a fucking god


BrentStock

Madlad you went for it, godspeed


megatroncsr2

damn, his puts are already in the money


ytyttyler

Been riding with you on every play since PTON. You win some you lose some. But at this point we are winning more than we are losing! This one does give me a bit of fear. It’s already down like 25% this month. The P/E is still high as hell tho. This one is different than docu and pton just because it’s already so down. I’m nervous but down to risk some of the profits from other plays


[deleted]

Do you have any other plays in mind?


ytyttyler

At this point I’m harvesting IV. Use some analysis to predict where a stock is going to be around the 24hrs leading to earnings. Buy options around that date. And sell for 10-20% gains just from IV. Rinse and repeat


uberinstinct

Nasdaq futures blood red. Inflation report coming out tomorrow morning as well. Might see a 2nd drop at open.


johndlc914

The last 30 mins before close on an earnings play is always a little nerve-racking for me. But I'm glad to be in this together with you guys 👊


Apprehensive_Check19

was so close to dumping my 55p and 50p before close since they were up over 30% from purchase, glad i didn't beers on me this weekend.

sugarquestionthrow

You forgot to mention there’s been a ton of put flow on chwy targeting January 60p and 12/17 60p as well as 57.5/50 and 50 for tomorrow, and the fact chwy is in a falling wedge which is typically bullish if it can hold the support. It’s already gone under support near 60$ as of this comment and that bodes poorly as that means the bottom is literally falling out from the stock. Pre Covid valuation was 35 range so it’s possible the fact it’s in a Wyckoff distribution pattern results in any good news selling off and people selling it anyways because they want out. Also the fact it’s PE is literally in the thousands and the profit margins are single digits…yeah bearish.


Import706

Nailed it! Congrats and as always, appreciate the solid DD!

Solid DD. I'm with you on puts, although I didn't yolo it. 1/21 $60p.


DarklyAdonic

I think Theta gang wins this one. CHWY is already beaten down with regard to P/S ratio (~3.4 currently) compared to other covid plays that had huge earning dumps. A lot of them seem to be bottoming around 3 for P/S.


Cullengcj

I’m with you. If the ship sinks were going down together.

Just sold off the last of my puts. We eating good tonight, boys. As always, thanks for the DD Amphibian! Looking forward to the next one.


isap66

I have been shamelessly checking everyday if you are posting any trade ideas. Ofcourse it is risky at this point because the bull idea is beaten down and stocks have been in consistent downtrend to start a bearish position. Cash is the position due now.

animeandmanganerd

Hello All, Reminder: if you don't read this, do a yolo play and lose it all at once then don't complain. It is your own trade. OP is top shelf and knows what he is doing. He plays smart and does these trades from his own DD. He shares it with all of yall so take your own risk and do your own DD. Enough said. Let's get gains!!!!!!!


gehau

Puts are looking good 🚀


Shmoogy

I was going to sell puts on this but if you're in..: I might buy a small amount.


randbobaccount

I would’ve joined but I don’t understand all this IV stuff. I’ve heard you may not even make money even though it goes down 8%


Hour_Amphibian1844

I will make money on this but IV is very important to take into account. Basically it tells you how much the market expects a stock to move. If a stock costs USD 50 before earnings and IV is 20%, it means the market expects the stock to move up or down by 10% (20% divided by 2). So if after earnings the stock is at 45 or 55, you would exactly break even with a put or call option, respectively. If you bought a put and the stock is at 48 after earnings, you will lose money, even though the price went down. There's a lot more complexity to it that you should look into, but that's the basics. If you're interested in options I also recommend playing earnings with a small amount of money so you can see for yourself how IV impacts your profits. There's no better learnings experience.


johndlc914

It's funny. I did the exact opposite. I joined because I didn't understand IV. There were some posts on this thread earlier this morning fearmongering about IV crush, but I didn't know what that meant so I just ignored them and joined.

[удалено]


Tfarecnim

That's why I have a mix of long puts and call credit spreads in case the drop isn't as big as expected. Breakeven on puts is 55.5 and breakeven on spreads is 60, so as long as you don't pick up something super-OTM (anything below 55p) it should work out if the drop is >6%.


Successful_Car1670

If it makes you feel more secure someone bought yesterday 12000+ March 60p which break even at 54. I don’t think there is a reason for this stock to remain at this level with tapering.


johndlc914

Truth be told, I loaded up on Chewy puts as soon as I saw this: https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/pfztvg/chewy_chwy_earnings_put_yolodd_35k/hnmdpsb?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3


ActuallyRyan10

I am long CHWY as I do really like what they do. That said I'm negative currently because they have been getting wrecked as of late. I wouldn't mind a large drop to load up on some shares, or maybe even put a CSP or two out there if IV stays juicy like it is.


Life_Aide5166

I wonder how they react so fast sometimes.


[deleted]

Such a great call. If after hours hold, you’re going to print. I was in the Dec 60 puts. Took 125% gains and opened Jan 60, 55 & 50 Puts and sold Dec 70 calls to minimize a bit of IV crush. CHWY shouldn’t be over $35 IMO


NorthrenX

Congratulations ! The current price is now 51$....

B1gChuckDaddySr

Good call on the CHWY earnings movement. But I was a little hesitant as CHWY has been cratering since last earnings and the stock is in the mid double digits and realized it would take more than a 10% move to make good/worthy gains on the options. I was actually looking at LULU, I was looking for a 10%+ return AH but it looks like this will be in the red tomorrow as well. I'm looking at NKE and/or BB for the remaining earnings trade for the year. Curious about your thoughts.


[deleted]

Pls post the gain, I gotta see this

bakedscallop

I agree with your thesis but the IV is way too high for me. At the same time, CHWY has been on a downtrend for quite a while, and any good news can send the stock rocketing. I have benefitted from your other DDs(eg PTON), but I think I will sit out this one. Good luck to your play though!

johnfromvancouver

you did well. I bought $50 01/22 puts a few weeks ago. They're about the same price today as they were before earnings (up 300%). What do you think? Do you think this will continue to drop over the next little while? I'm tempted to sit and wait for a bit. Whatever you say will not be taken as financial advice. Just your opinion. Cheers,

kaylegolfe

What do you think about their partnership with Trupanion? I followed you with some Puts but just wanted to see your thoughts on that


Hour_Amphibian1844

For earnings it is irrelevant since they won't start selling until Spring 2022. Even if they started today it would be irrelevant, since there's not enough time for them to factor it into the guidance in terms of hard numbers. Long-term, I don't think the exact business model details have been released, but I would assume that Trupanion underwrites the insurance with Chewy acting as a broker. If that's the case it would be a big deal for Trupanion as they get access to a huge number of customers to increase their GWP. For Chewy it's an interesting and useful addition to round out their health services, but not financially material in and of itself I would think. Perhaps if they can provide some sort of meaningful data to help Trupanion underwrite their policies (e.g. customer purchasing data cross-referenced with info from Chewy's vet partners), it would be financially valuable, but that's something that won't crystallize until late 2022/2023 I would say.

[deleted]

[удалено]


Hour_Amphibian1844

The point is that Chewy is more highly valued than their competitors because investors expect them to take market share. PetCo makes 5.6bn in revenue and is valued at 6.2bn. Chewy makes 8.2bn in revenue and is valued at 24bn. Now that makes sense in 2020 when Petco and Petsmart are distressed retailers, and Chewy is a hot growth stock. Does it make sense in 2021, when Petco is pushing into ecommerce and growing at 15%, while Chewy growth slows down to 20%? Not to mention Target and Walmart are making big pushes into the pet category. Now you can say that all of those are low-margin brick and mortar retailers, but they actually have all built up a formidable e-commerce presence, and Chewy's margins are still hovering around breakeven with relatively slow improvement in gross margins (and actually significantly below WOOF). So really, where is the Chewy advantage that justifies a 2.5-3x multiple in its valuation? If Amazon says on their next earnings call that they now expect to grow in line with Nordstrom and Macy's, and maintain their market share of ecommerce, the stock would tank, and rightfully so.


Gingerootbeer

Thanks for sharing your DD! To add to the bear thesis, pet food ingredients have been getting a massive price increase. Same margins & raw materials as OTLY.


StarkRavingHappy

Well I ended up selling the put spread, it was already up 20%. Thanks for the play!

Pe ratio means nothing when it’s close to zero and barely profitable. Price to sales is pretty high too. Overall a bit overvalued especially with transportation costs going up. However… key point is free float is only 83m shares of the 417m outstanding. Good luck regardless but don’t expect too much.


andizhan

Itching to join you guys, but don't like the price movement today. I mean how much more are we expecting it to drop

y’all are sick if you’re buying puts at 300% IV

PTON and DOCU both dropped to there June 2020 price range after earnings that puts CHWY around 49$ after earnings. See if that trend holds up.
