Deutsche Bank maintains a 'Hold' on Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST) price target of $85.00.]
Analyst, Charles Grom, said, "Earlier this morning, COST and Controladora Comercial Mexicana, S.A.B. de C.V. announced that they have executed a definitive agreement, under which Costco Wholesale will purchase from CCM its 50% share interest in Costco de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., a joint venture, for $760.4 million USD."
In conclusion, Grom said, the writing was on the wall as far as consolidating Mexican operations, especially considering the company has $5.9 billion on the balance sheet. Grom sees Costco continuing to expand in Latin & South America.
