Shares of Petco Health and Wellness Company, Inc. (WOOF) plummeted 5.39% during Wednesday's intraday trading session, reflecting investor concerns following a recent analyst report.
RBC Capital maintained its price target for Petco at $4.00 per share, according to a ratings action reported by Benzinga. This maintained low price target appears to have sparked a selloff, as investors reassess the company's near-term prospects in light of the analyst's valuation.
The maintained low price target suggests that RBC Capital analysts see limited upside potential for Petco in the current market environment. This could indicate ongoing challenges for the pet retail and services company, potentially related to competition, market saturation, or broader economic factors affecting consumer spending on pet-related products and services.
