The latest announcement is out from Chewy ( (CHWY) ).
On February 23, 2026, Chewy’s board appointed Christopher S. “Chris” Deppe as Chief Financial Officer and principal financial officer, ending the interim tenure of Chief Accounting Officer William Billings in that role, while Billings remains CAO. Deppe, a veteran finance leader who joined Chewy in 2022 after more than 16 years at Amazon and earlier roles at Intel, receives a compensation package centered on salary, bonus eligibility, and substantial multi-year, performance-linked equity grants approved in connection with his promotion.
In a February 24, 2026 press release, Chewy highlighted Deppe’s role in sharpening its financial strategy and operational rigor and reaffirmed its fiscal 2025 guidance and long-term plan to reach a 10% adjusted EBITDA margin. The move signals a completed CFO succession process after a competitive search involving external candidates and underscores the board’s confidence that Deppe’s institutional knowledge and disciplined execution will support durable, profitable, capital-efficient growth for customers, partners, and shareholders.

Spark’s Take on CHWY Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CHWY is a Neutral.
The score is driven primarily by improving financial performance—especially strong free cash flow and better gross margins—supported by a constructive earnings update and raised profitability outlook. These positives are tempered by weak longer-term technical positioning (below the 100/200-day averages with negative MACD) and a rich valuation (P/E ~69) with no dividend yield.
