$PETS $CHWY $PET $WOOF Pet stocks. Central Garden & Pet's $CENT current Enterprise Value is about 1 times its revenue. CENT has a significant amount of debt, with its leverage being 2.9 times!!! For comparison, PETS's current Enterprise Value is only 0.2 times its revenue!!! On top of this, PETS's balance sheet is much stronger than CENT's, because PETS has ZERO debt and a lot of cash. After all, PETS at $5.50 per share is incredibly cheap: https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/11/06/2976037/10002/en/PetMeds-Announces-Second-Quarter-Fiscal-2025-Financial-Results.html
