-Solid Revenue and Earnings growth

Costco reported a 9% year-over-year increase in Q2 (February quarter) revenue, reaching $63.7 billion and surpassing expectations by $640 million. Adjusted comparable sales rose 9%, with e-commerce growing 22%. US comparable sales outpaced both Walmart and Target, increasing 9%, while membership fee income grew 7% to $1.2 billion. However, EPS of $4.02 fell short of estimates by $0.09, partly due to foreign exchange headwinds. Strong customer traffic and a 90.5% global renewal rate continue to underpin Costco’s premium valuation, with management noting stable consumer demand and increased spending on food at home.
