Costco's early anticipation of consumer behavior around Hurricane Helene and the port strike resulted in a sales boost, reflecting adaptability in crisis situations.
The company reported a 2% increase in U.S. Monthly sales due to increased consumer activity in the final week, attributed to storm and strike preparation.
CEO Ron Vachris emphasized that only 25% of Costco's products are imported, allowing for effective management of potential supply chain disruptions.
Several measures were taken by Costco, including clearing ports and pre-shipping products, to ensure merchandise availability during external pressures from natural disasters.
