What to expect from PetMed Express Q1 earnings

PetMed Express (NASDAQ: PETS) is set to release its earnings results for the first quarter of 2020 on Monday before the market opens. Sales could be adversely affected by higher competition and consumers giving more considerations to price. The majority of product sales are impacted by the seasons due to the seasonality of mainly flea, tick, and heartworm medications.
