On CAPS, 97% of the 858 members who have rated PetMed believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include feynmanshomeboy and tekennedy.

Late last year, feynmanshomeboy tapped PetMed as a true top dog: "Growth in sector this decade will come from prescriptions (and maybe even cuter outfits). The streamlined delivery of prescription drugs to customers in all 50 states will make this company a sector leader or an attractive acquisition."

In fact, PetMed boasts a rather robust three-year average operating margin of 16%. That's easily higher than that of increasingly fierce foes like Amazon (4.3%), PetSmart (7.3%), and Wal-Mart (5.9%).

CAPS member tekennedy elaborates on the bull case:

it is the industry leader in a very fragmented industry with scale benefits. This company competes primarily with vets, which constitute over 70% of the market. This is a difficult type of competitor as a large number of people will naturally just purchase their pet medications through them because the customer needs to get the prescription from them. ... Despite this [Petmed] has managed to become the largest (estimated 7% of market) player in the market, larger than all other mail order companies combined. ...

I expect over the long term the company should be able to continue to earn high returns on equity and continue to grow. In the short run they hit a small speed bump. The company's cost to acquire a new customer has increased due to higher advertising pricing. ... Although growth may diminish in the near term I expect the company to continue gaining share over the long term.
