Chewy stock experienced a spike, rising as much as 30% on Thursday, following a cryptic post by investor Keith Gill, also known as "Roaring Kitty." However, the stock quickly retreated and closed the day just below the flat line.
Other pet stocks also experienced a boost following Gill's tweet. Petco (WOOF) and PetMed Express (PETS) both saw their shares rise in afternoon trading. This indicates that Gill's social media activity not only impacted Chewy's stock but also influenced the wider pet stock market.
