Costco sells groceries, household goods, fuel and services through membership warehouses and online stores.
Built from Costco Wholesale Corp.’s own filings with the SEC. Figures are as reported, with per-share history restated onto today’s share basis. This describes a business — it is not investment advice and not a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
Customers pay an annual fee to shop at Costco warehouses and online. Costco buys many goods directly from suppliers and sells them in bulk, alongside services such as gasoline, pharmacy, optical care and travel. It also sells its Kirkland Signature private-label products.
Shares of revenue are estimates for quarter ended 2026-04-30, not figures from a filing.

Fresh foods
Meat, produce, deli items and bakery goods.
Warehouse services
Services available at or near warehouses include gasoline, pharmacy, optical care, a food court, hearing aids and tire installation.
Three ratings, each a percentile against the 9 companies we cover in Discount Stores. Deliberately kept apart rather than blended into one score — cheap, rising and well-run are three different facts, and a single number would hide which one is which.
Below most of its industry
The most recent month is left out on purpose: returns tend to persist over 7–12 months and the newest one tends to reverse. This describes what the price has done, and says nothing about what it will do.
Near the bottom of its industry
Yields, so higher means cheaper — a loss-making company ranks last instead of dropping out. Cheap is not the same as good: a high yield is often a price that fell for a reason. All five measures available.
