""Unlike Target, which is raising prices to offset tariffs, Costco vows to hike prices only as a last resort, reflecting consumers' shift to essentials.""
""Costco's stock has climbed 3,050% since 2000, but no splits since then, as fractional trading allows smaller investors access without needing full shares.""
Costco Wholesale's latest earnings report indicates resilience amidst consumer caution; while it surpassed earnings expectations, it fell short of revenue forecasts. Membership revenue saw a significant rise, reflecting Costco’s strong renewal rates and member growth. Despite speculation, the company’s CFO downplayed the likelihood of a stock split, given the advent of fractional share trading, which allows investors to buy into the stock without needing to purchase a full share. Costco's strategic pricing approaches contrast with competitors like Target, indicating their commitment to keeping customers engaged without escalating costs.
