Paying Down Debt Has Petco Profits Soaring

Profits are soaring for the pet retailer Petco Health and Wellness (NASDAQ: WOOF). The company reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2021 results on March 8, and they were an inflection point.

The company was positive on the bottom line for both the quarter and a full year for the first time in its young history as a public company. The retailer is benefiting from a boom in pet spending since the onset of the pandemic and has used funds it received from its initial public offering (IPO) to pay down debt.
