COSTCO: $COST PPI reading optionsI am quite bullish on Costco wholesale, they have show amazing growth this year to date and continue to demonstrate strength in the retail world. I am bullish regardless of the reading in the long term. I beleive we have to case scenarios for NASDAQ:COST Option 1: Good Reading, will casue this stock to continue to pump up about 1-1.5%. This could create enough momentum to complete the butterfly pattern. Option 2: Bad Reading, will cause the stock to drop and fill the gap at 714. This could present an excellent long opportunity if the double bottom plays out correctly. Timing and patience will be key before we start our accension upward. I will try my best to update on this. be smart, be patient, and trade on! -Whales

COST broke the trendline, now it is going to go downCostco stock fell 7%+ today, breaking the overall trendline on the D and 4H graphs. I predict that it will have a green day on Monday because the market will retest/correct itself, and after touching the R1 price on pivots (Fibonacci), we can short COST. With a risk-reward ratio of 1:3, less risky traders can exit at a given price in the image, and if you can hold more, the exit price would be $671 (but don't do this because if the overall market is up, COST will have a hard time touching this FVG).

$COST Misses Holiday-Quarter Revenue ExpectationCostco ( NASDAQ:COST ) missed Wall Street’s revenue expectations for its holiday quarter, despite reporting YOY sales growth and strong e-commerce gains. NASDAQ:COST Shares fell about 4% in aftermarket trading on Thursday but the stock bounced and surged by about 1.6% in Premarket trading on Friday. The company’s stock had hit a 52-week high earlier in the day. Earnings per share: $3.92 vs. $3.62 expected Revenue: $58.44 billion vs. $59.16 billion expected In the three-month period that ended Feb. 18, Costco’s net income rose to $1.74 billion, or $3.92 per share, compared with $1.47 billion, or $3.30 per share, a year earlier. Costco’s revenue for the quarter increased from $55.27 billion in the year-ago period. Comparable sales for the company increased 5.6% year over year and 4.3% in the U.S. Excluding changes in gas prices and foreign currency, the metric increased 5.8% overall and 4.8% in the U.S. Sales of food and sundries, a category that includes snack foods and beverages, were up by mid single digits in the quarter, CFO Richard Galanti said on the company’s earnings call. Fresh foods were up high single digits and nonfoods were up mid single digits. Ancillary businesses, which includes more service-related purchases like travel, were up by low single digits, he said. Costco’s food court, pharmacy and optical centers were top performers in the quarter and gas was down low single digits as the price per gallon fell. Costco ( NASDAQ:COST ) has 875 warehouses, including 603 in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. It also has clubs in about a dozen other countries, including Canada, Mexico, Japan and China. In the second quarter, Costco ( NASDAQ:COST ) opened four new clubs, including three in the U.S. and one in Shenzhen, China. That marked its sixth club to open in China, Galanti said. Two of the three new U.S. locations were Costco Business Centers, which are specifically geared toward small business owners like restaurant operators. Costco ( NASDAQ:COST ) shares have risen nearly 19% since the start of the year. The stock touched a 52-week high of $787.08 earlier in the day and closed at $785.59, bringing the company’s market value to nearly $350 billion. Costco's Digital growth Costco ( NASDAQ:COST ) has made changes to its website to improve the experience for online shoppers. It’s also tweaked its business to be more digitally savvy. E-commerce sales grew 18.4% in the quarter compared with the year earlier. For example, Costco ( NASDAQ:COST ) rolled out a new mobile app homepage in February, which loads in less than two seconds compared with eight seconds previously — a move he said was crucial since about 60% of its e-commerce business is done through its mobile app and mobile browser. It rolled out Apple Pay last week to all members online. And it’s adding more merchandise to Costco Next, a seller platform that allows members to buy directly from some of the retailer’s suppliers at a discounted price. E-commerce sales have also gained momentum as Costco ( NASDAQ:COST ) has gotten better in recent months at touting the value of its online merchandise, particularly for big-ticket items like appliances, mattresses and tires. App downloads were up 2.8 million in the quarter and and currently total about 33 million, Galanti said. Membership fees Costco ( NASDAQ:COST ) has seen more membership sign-ups as the company has cracked down on membership sharing, Galanti said. During the pandemic, he said the warehouse club noticed more people using their mom or dad’s membership card and let it slide. Then, he said, the membership sharing grew because self-checkout became more common at clubs. Investors have been waiting for Costco ( NASDAQ:COST ) to raise its membership fees for more than a year. The company has typically increased its annual fee roughly every five and a half years. It last hiked fees in June 2017. But Galanti said the company is not hiking the fee yet. Though he added, “It’s when, not if.”

Costco Completed a Harmonic PatternCostco Completed a Harmonic Pattern It is one of those stocks that since COVID-19 the price increased by nearly +130% and it keeps rising. So far the price stopped at the pattern completion zone and probably it can wait in this zone for the Earnings report which will be released on 07-March-2024 I am not expecting the price to move down like a rocket but from this zone near 725 - 737, we can see any correction. The market participants have to take profits time after time and I think that this is one of those moments, before Costco grows more. If you are in this trade as a long-term trader it is better to know that we may see any bearish correction. You may find more details in the chart! Thank you and Good Luck! ❤️PS: Please support with a like or comment if you find this analysis useful for your trading day❤️

COST Symmetrical TriangleNASDAQ:COST Costco Wholesale Corporation is one of the most successful companies in the US. Costco investors have seen a return of 453% over the past 10 years, while the S&P 500 has moved roughly 206% over the same period. Despite the impact of inflation, Costco has continually offered lower prices relative to their competitors, yet their net margins are 2.65%, the highest they have ever been. Technical patterns suggest a symmetrical triangle pattern on the weekly timeframe, which could indicate a retracement to all time highs ($612.27). A breakout and rally is very plausible, with a potential price target of $700.

COST - seasonality and special dividendsI recently posted about the potential to take advantage of seasonal weakness for $NASDAQ:COST. I'm embarrassed to say that I had lost track of them being overdue to offer a special dividend. Since 2015 they have offered a special dividend every 2-3 years. Let's look at how the special dividend announcements have influenced sentiment and interacted with seasonal behavior. Recall that COST sees November as an incredibly strong month, and December through February and August as weaker months. But what happens when there is a special dividend? February 2015 - $5 special dividend Price surged $13 (9%) between announce and ex-dividend date Dec-Feb period ended 5% higher After payment price remained ~$2 higher than close of the announce date until Aug May 2017 - $7 special dividend In between seasonal periods. The prior 2016-2017 Dec-Feb had ended higher. Price increased $10 (6%) between announce and ex-dividend date Price flattened and then dropped after ex-dividend date Price increased briefly after payment and then gapped down until November The following 2017-2018 Dec-Feb season ended slightly higher December 2020 - $10 special dividend Price increased $13 (9%) between announce and ex-dividend date Price dropped after ex-dividend date and was flat by payment date Dec-Feb ended $57 (14.7%) lower December 2023 - $15 special dividend December was trending higher prior to the special dividend announcement Price has increased $19 (3%) from announcement There are currently 7 trading days until ex-dividend date This is obviously a very small sample size. In every situation the price has increased to a level greater than the special dividend in between announcement and ex-dividend date, but corrected by payment date, or shortly after. The special dividend that was announced in the middle of the year saw the least impact on seasonality. The February 2015 special dividend saw a less common strong Dec-Feb period, while the December 2020 special dividend was followed by a weaker than normal Dec-Feb period. I'll conclude that a conservative approach is to take profit in between announcement and ex-dividend and continue to look for an opportunity to capitalize on potential seasonal weakness in the coming months.

COST - heading into seasonal weaknessNASDAQ:COST is a core holding of mine and one that I use technical analysis to continue building. I've reported multiple setups to build a cost position and recently shared the strong seasonal outlook for November. We have earnings after the close on 12/14, a quad withing on 12/15, and a history of seasonal weakness between December and March. I'll take this opportunity to sell some of the position into strength and look for opportunities for additional accumulation over the next 3 months. Note on the daily chart that we're just above a range that I targeted on the breakout of a descending wedge. We can also see that price has pivoted in alignment to the fib time zones and that the next one is 12/15 (day after earnings and on quad witching). On the weekly chart we are at the top of a measured range, which has typically signaled the start of a secondary downtrend.

Costco still eager to push up ahead of earningsShares in Costco Wholesale Corp (symbol ‘COST’) reached 18-month highs in the last fortnight amid ongoing strong sales. Recent general positivity in stock markets comes mainly from the likelihood that the Federal Reserve has reached its terminal rate for this cycle and might start to pivot from the second quarter of next year. Costco’s earnings report for the financial quarter ending in November is expected on Thursday 14 December after hours. $3.44 is the consensus EPS: the 15 estimates range from $3.25 to $3.66. One estimate was revised down in the last four months. ‘One of the negatives for buyers of Costco’s stock is that, considering the sector, its dividend history doesn’t compare favourably with EPS,’ said Michael Stark at Exness. ‘The company’s fundamentals, in terms of revenue, sales, memberships and other numbers, look good, but PE around 40 raises some concern over valuation.’ A double top is visible on the chart; however, this pattern has not completed yet so acting based on it would usually be risky, especially in the runup to earnings. As above for Broadcom, $600 for Costco is an important resistance as a round number which might resist testing without a significant new driver. The long uptrend in 2023 remains valid for now, but buying the CFD just below an all-time high isn’t a typical approach except for short-term traders attempting to exploit a potential breakout. A retest of the area around $575 might give a better entry for buyers, but that depends on how shareholders perceive the earnings report.
