PetMed Express, Inc. (NASDAQ:PETS)

This is one of those plays/investments where, IF you are a consumer of the product then owning the stock can pay for that product and then some. At $17.50/share, the yield is over 6%. If you're going to add to a companies top line for pet supplies and pet meds (aka, you buy pet products), why not let the company pay you back? You can buy any given product from over a dozen online retailers all of them within a very small competitive price range; but PETS is the one stock with a dividend, never mind the only one giving it back at 6%. With a dividend of $1.08/share and good chances for future dividend hikes (yes, even in today's challenge of margin pressures), a few hundred shares provides a few hundred bucks or a full year's outlay for a pet's food and meds. IF you have the means to invest, even every veterinarian and animal shelter would be wise to get their supplies from PETS and happily cash that dividend check. Sure Chewy may be the larger and more recognizable retailer name, but that doesn't mean they will put every other retailer out of business. On the contrary, when an investor looks at the companies performance and sees losses vs profit, debt vs cash, and junk grade ownership vs a 6% yield; PETS is clearly the better investment (especially, if you're already a consumer of the product). Quite arguably, if you are a pet owner PETS paints a very compelling argument to buy some shares of PETS and start purchasing your pet supplies through PetMed Express.
