Shares of Chewy popped in the premarket trading Monday after a Securities and Exchange Commission filing showed meme stock trader «Roaring Kitty» took a stake in the pet food e-commerce retailer.
The filing showed Keith Gill bought just over 9 million shares — amounting to a 6.6% stake in the company. That makes him the third-biggest Chewy shareholder, according to FactSet. Based on Friday's close, that stake is valued at more than $245 million.
The stock was up more than 20% before the bell.
The SEC filing also included a section that read: «Check the appropriate box to designate whether you are a cat.» There was an «x» next to a response that read: «I am not a cat.»
