The raised full-year outlook reinforces the bull case built on recurring Autoship revenue and operating leverage. Monitor the conference call for specifics on FY26 revenue and EBITDA guidance ranges. The increasing cash flow and share repurchase capacity provide downside support. Watch for any margin headwinds from recent acquisitions (SmartPak, Modern Animal) and debt servicing costs.
