Costco Wholesale stock (ISIN US22160K1051) was trading at EUR 814.80 at Lang & Schwarz on September 30, 2026 at 3:07 p.m. CEST, up 0.08 percent from the prior close of EUR 814.15. The retailer's latest quarter delivered double-digit sales growth, but analyst target cuts keep valuation in view.

Quarterly sales stay strong

According to Costco Wholesale on September 24, 2026, net sales rose 11.20 percent year over year to USD 93.9 billion in the 16-week fourth quarter ended August 30, 2026. Total revenue reached USD 95.723 billion, while diluted earnings per share increased to USD 6.75 from USD 5.87.

The comparison extends across the full fiscal year. Net sales rose 10.10 percent to USD 297.2 billion from USD 269.9 billion, and net income increased to USD 9.226 billion from USD 8.099 billion. Costco also ended fiscal 2026 with 939 warehouses and USD 5.907 billion in membership-fee revenue.

Targets move lower after results

According to MarketBeat on September 28, 2026, Deutsche Bank reduced its Costco target from USD 1,091.00 to USD 1,079.00 while retaining a Buy rating. The same report listed 22 Buy ratings, 10 Holds and one Sell among 33 analysts, producing a Moderate Buy consensus and an average target of USD 1,046.27.

The target reset matters because the earnings included a non-recurring USD 0.15-per-share benefit from IEEPA tariff refunds. Costco said the benefit was partly reinvested in member value, so the reported USD 6.75 diluted EPS should be read alongside the underlying operating trend rather than in isolation.
