A head-to-head analysis of American Eagle Outfitters and Chewy concludes that Chewy is the more resilient consumer stock for 2026. American Eagle Outfitters reported fiscal 2025 revenue of nearly $5.5 billion and net income of $192.0 million, while Chewy posted revenue of nearly $12.6 billion and net income of approximately $222.8 million. Chewy's Autoship program and expansion into veterinary clinics through the acquisition of Modern Animal are cited as key strengths, whereas American Eagle Outfitters faces headwinds from a new 10% global tariff and discretionary spending pressure. American Eagle Outfitters trades at a forward P/E of 10.3x and a P/S ratio of 0.6x, compared to Chewy's forward P/E of 23.0x and identical P/S ratio of 0.6x. The analysis favors Chewy for its predictable, recurring revenue model and diversified growth into pet health services.
