Keith Gill Roaring Kitty
Yes, this guy.
Woof

Keith Gill doesn’t seem to like Chewy any more. No one cares.

Well, at least there’s not much mystery behind this meme.

At noon, Keith Gill, aka Roaring Kitty, tweeted a picture from Toy Story 2 of Woody being discarded by Andy with a dog’s head superimposed where the cowboy’s face should be.

In late June, Gill had tweeted a picture of a dog and sent shares of Chewy spiking higher by as much as 34% on the day. A filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission later revealed that he had purchased about 9 million shares of the pet e-commerce company, a 6.6% stake.

Today’s tweet of a meme often used to say “I don’t wanna play with you anymore” would seemingly imply that he’s throwing the stock to the dogs. But just as Gill’s June 27 tweet didn’t have a long-lived impact on the stock, neither does this micro-missive.

Since the time that Gill’s ownership of the company’s stock surpassed 5% (which triggered the filing), shares of Chewy are down a little more than 1%, broadly in line with the return for the S&P 500 over this period.

The eccentric value investor turned meme maestro came back to social media earlier this year after a long hiatus, and unleashed an avalanche of edited videos.

(I suspect the timing of his return had something to do with the dismissal of a lawsuit pertaining to Gill’s previous involvement in GameStop.)

Eventually, he went on a livestream to re-affirm that he liked the stock of GameStop, the embattled video game and collectibles retailer, and that his bet on the company was a bet on “Ryan fucking Cohen” — the current CEO of GameStop, who was the co-founder and former CEO of Chewy.

You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

Hardware stocks jump thanks to server demand and record Lenovo revenue

Server stocks are rallying as Dell, Super Micro Computer, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise ride the momentum of Hong Kong-based Lenovo. The PC maker’s stock rose 19% on Friday, hitting an all-time high, on record Q4 earnings.

Powering the positive earnings report was the company’s AI-related revenue, which grew 84% in the fourth quarter and now makes up over a third of total revenue. Investors seem to think the increased demand for servers could have trickle-down effects for other companies.

“The company’s results and commentary reinforced the outlook for strong AI-infrastructure demand while indicating resilient broader traditional server and storage spending,” wrote Woo Jin Ho, a senior technology analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence. “Lenovo’s $21 billion AI-server pipeline and remarks that demand is outpacing supply support Dell’s AI-demand momentum and point to robust orders.”

AI’s insatiable computing demand is reshaping the hardware industry and driving up server demand.

Dell will report first-quarter earnings on Thursday, May 28.

Ross Stores surges as Q1 results beat expectations, full-year guidance raised

Ross shares are rising after the company delivered strong Q1 results, with sales topping Wall Street’s projections.

The stock soared 6.3% just after the open.

Key numbers:

  • Earnings per share of $2.02 vs. $1.47 year over year (estimate: $1.72).

  • Sales of $6.01 billion, up 21% year over year (estimate: $5.61 billion).

  • Comparable sales growth of 17% (estimate: 8.58%).

CEO Jim Conroy attributed the results to better traffic in stores. “Customer traffic was the primary driver of the strong sales trend as compelling merchandise assortments, higher customer acquisition and engagement from our ongoing marketing initiatives, and an improved in‑store experience are resonating with shoppers.”

The company also noted that transaction volume grew across all key demographics, including “income levels, ethnicities, and age groups, including younger customers.” Sales were also likely buoyed by standard seasonal tailwinds, including consumer spending from tax refunds.

Backed by the strong quarter, the company lifted its full-year targets. Ross now projects same-store sales growth of 6% to 7%, up from the prior forecast of 3% to 4%, topping Wall Street’s estimate of 4.64%. It boosted its annual EPS guidance to a range of $7.50 to $7.74, versus the prior outlook of $7.02 to $7.36.

Ross Stores has been one of the retail sector’s standout performers this year, rising around 20% year to date as of Thursday’s close.
