(Updated to include Wedbush's commentary).

Wedbush raised Chewy's (CHWY) price target to $45 from $39, as the company reported fiscal Q1 total revenue of $3.12 billion, above the upper end of management's guidance.

"We remain constructive on the company's longer-term opportunity, and continue to view Chewy as a category-leading online retailer with a strong record of execution and healthy FCF dynamics," analysts Scott Devitt and Matthew Weiss wrote in a Thursday note.

Moreover, while Wedbush cut the retailer's near-term estimates, the longer-term growth expectations were increased 'to reflect a more favorable outlook supported by encouraging management commentary.'

Chewy has an average rating of overweight and mean price target of $45.05, according to analysts polled by FactSet.
