Petz (ISIN BRPETZACNOR2) advanced its Cobasi integration on September 14, 2026, outlining a combined platform with BRL 7.7 billion in projected 2025 revenue, 520 stores, and 15,000 employees. The scale matters for Petz stock because the merger shifts the story from standalone retail growth toward execution across a larger network.

Integration builds operating scale

As InfoMoney reported on September 14, 2026, the combined group spans 520 stores across 124 municipalities. Digital sales represented 40 percent of revenue, while more than 95 percent of e-commerce orders were fulfilled through physical stores.

The integration also creates a measurable execution test. The group plans to extend Petz's Seres health plan across the combined network and has identified 100 potential new stores over coming years, according to El Fondo on September 14, 2026.

What does integration mean for margins?

The answer depends on whether scale produces better economics. The company said supplier renegotiations were 90 percent complete and expected initial synergy gains from the third quarter of 2026, with systems, logistics, expansion, and purchasing at the center of the plan.

That operating thesis is already visible in the latest sector comparison. GlobalPETS reported that Petz-Cobasi sales increased 7.80 percent in the second quarter of 2026 to USD 411.8 million, while net profit increased 43.50 percent. Private-label penetration reached 12.10 percent, up 2.20 percentage points from the prior year.

Three milestones frame the merger

XP Investimentos listed a June 2, 2025 report on the merger approval, an August 8, 2025 report that cited an 8.00 percent earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margin, and a January 4, 2026 report covering the creation of União Pet.

The September 14, 2026 integration update is the latest of those milestones and adds operating figures to the merger narrative. For investors, the key comparison is between the 7.80 percent sales increase in the second quarter of 2026 and the 43.50 percent net profit increase, because the latter points to earnings growth outpacing revenue.
