However, given that the company is currently struggling with supply chain bottlenecks and rising costs, which impacted its earnings in its last reported quarter, is it worth adding the stock to one's portfolio now? Let's find out.Chewy, Inc. (CHWY) in Dania Beach, Fla., is a pure-play e-commerce company geared toward pet products. The company offers approximately 70,000 products from 2,500 partner brands through its chewy.com retail website and mobile applications.
