Quick Read – Forget What Investors Like – Brands Don’t Mean Money – The Pet Market Is Tough – The analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 stocks and Chewy wasn’t one of them.
Once a year, the results of “The 2026 Axios Harris Poll 100 reputation rankings” are released in May. It is based on a poll of 6,226 Americans to pick the 100 most visible brands in America. Then, more people are surveyed on issues “related to brands and politics.” One thing that is clear from the reputation rankings is that they have no relationship to share price performance.
The No. 1 brand on the list was Chewy (NYSE: CHWY), the online pet supply company. Its stock is down 41% this year. Recent comments by its CEO sent the stock plummeting in a single day.
