RBC says Costco is one of retail’s best stories, but flags rich valuation

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 10:45:52 -0400

Investing.com -- RBC Capital Markets has initiated coverage of Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST) with a Sector Perform rating and a $1,000 price target, praising the retailer's business model and growth prospects while arguing that the positives are already reflected in the share price.

RBC Capital Starts Costco Wholesale (COST) at Sector Perform

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 02:02:23 -0400

RBC Capital analyst Steven Shemesh initiates coverage on Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST) with a Sector Perform rating and a price target of $1,000.00.

The analyst comments: “COST is one of the best stories in retail. Its unique model, strong merchandising, and push into digital position it well for continued market share gains. We see potential for modest margin expansion and +HSD/ +LDD annual EPS growth over the medium-term, supported primarily by improving e-commerce economics and a ramping contribution from retail media (especially as tariff refunds should fund typical reinvestment). That said, at ~37x our FY'28 EPS estimate of $25.00 (cons. $24.94)

Evercore ISI on Costco Wholesale (COST): 'June Sales +7.6%, Less Gas than May'

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 07:29:29 -0400

Evercore ISI analyst Greg Melich reiterated an Outperform rating and $1,100.00 price target on Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST).

The analyst comments "Costco’s healthy 7.6% core (ex gas) U.S. and 7% (ex gas/FX) global comp is a solid start to the summer amidst a potentially decelerating retail backdrop. U.S. traffic of +3.2% keeps the two-year trend above 6% for 7th consecutive month, but tougher compares ahead in July/Aug pose a threat as we move deeper into summer. Gas continues to be supportive (albeit less so than May), up low-30% y/y driven by a 22% increase in ASP and ~HSD% growth in gallons.

Baird Reiterates Outperform Rating on Costco Wholesale (COST)

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 06:24:13 -0400

Baird analyst Peter Benedict reiterated an Outperform rating and $1,100.00 price target on Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST).

The analyst commented: "Maintain Outperform rating. Reported/core comps increased +8.8%/+7.0% in June. While trends moderated vs. May (driven by a blend of traffic/ticket; all merchandise categories slowed modestly), growth remains broad-based and best-in-class relative to club/retail peers. Looking ahead, with net sales running up ~12% roughly halfway through F4Q (vs. Street's +9.7%E), top-line expectations seem biased higher at this point. Net, COST's proven value proposition continues to stand out amid the choppy macro/consumer backdrop, and the stock's valuation (while elevated at ~43x NTM EPS)

DA Davidson Reiterates Neutral Rating on Costco Wholesale (COST) Following June 2026 Sales Report

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 05:06:17 -0400

DA Davidson analyst Michael Baker reiterated a Neutral rating and $100.00 price target on Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST).

The analyst comments "Costco put up another good month of comps for the four weeks ending July 5 th . Most comp related metrics decelerated versus last month, but that’s not surprising given rising gas prices and as tax refunds are likely spent at this point. Results were in line with our estimates overall, but were stronger in the U.S. versus our model and weaker internationally. June’s data gives us sales for a little over half of COST’s 4 th quarter, with our

The analyst noted that management viewed June as a solid month, attributing May's stronger performance partly to an outsized traffic lift from higher gas prices. Key underlying metrics for June included worldwide traffic growth of 3.2% year-over-year, matching

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 05:04:04 -0400

Telsey analyst Joseph Feldman reiterated an Outperform rating and $1,135.00 price target on Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST)
