Why PetMed Express Stock Just Dropped 10%
Flat sales and falling profits are no recipe for stock success.

What happened
PetMed Express (NASDAQ:PETS) stock is looking sick as a dog this morning, with shares of the online pet pharmacy down 10.2% as of noon EST after the report of fiscal Q3 2018 earnings results that fell short of expectations.
Sales for Q3 came in flat against last year at $60.1 million. (Analysts were expecting $64.3 million.) Purr-ofits of $0.38 likewise fell short of the mark. (Analysts wanted to see $0.48.)
So what
Sales held firm year over year, yet PetMed said its profits declined 14%, a fact CEO Menderes Akdag blamed on a "much more competitive" market that forced PetMed to give customers "additional discounts ... to stimulate sales" -- but in which those discounts did not, in fact, result in additional sales.
Now what
Arguably worse, PetMed's CEO indicated that the company will have to "continue to be aggressive with pricing and promotions" to maintain market share, and even "increase advertising to address this more competitive online market." That means that profits, down already in Q3, probably won't be recovering anytime soon.
Conclusion: Analysts who were predicting PetMed would grow its earnings 12% in Q4 are bound to be disappointed.

Noch einmal ordentlich verprügelt worden.
Da sind gestern nach unten technisch so einige vorstellbare Ziele abgegrast worden.
Und danach gab es Käufer.
Somit auch mich zu 20,95$.
Sollten wir die ~16,15$ sehen, werde ich wahrscheinlich nachlegen.
Ab 26,50$ aber auch wieder beginnend abgeben.
