Petco Health & Wellness reported better-than-expected core profit results, with adjusted EBITDA of $96.1 million for Q4, exceeding Wall Street's expectations. The company anticipates adjusted EBITDA of $82-$83 million for Q1 and $375-$390 million for the year. Despite a net loss of $0.05 per share and declining sales, analysts at Wedbush see solid progress in the turnaround under CEO Joel Anderson, leading to a 30% surge in stock price. Wedbush maintains an outperform rating but lowers the price target to $4 from $6, citing improving profitability.
