Earnings Call Summary
Costco delivered 9.1 percent revenue growth to 69.6 billion dollars in the second quarter, beating earnings per share at 4.93 dollars versus 4.92 dollars expected, but missing revenue versus consensus of 71.2 billion dollars. Same-store sales grew 7.4 percent excluding gas and currency effects. Comparable sales strength came from all categories, with meat and bakery leading fresh food at low double digits. Digital sales grew 22.6 percent, with personalized recommendations driving 470 million dollars in e-commerce sales. However, paid membership growth decelerated to 4.8 percent year over year, down from typical 5 percent levels, partly due to slower new warehouse openings in new markets and higher penetration of online signup members who renew at lower rates. Management emphasized continued price reductions on items like butter, coffee, and eggs despite tariff uncertainty, and highlighted technology investments in checkout efficiency and personalized experiences.
Guidance Management did not provide specific forward guidance for future quarters. They indicated expecting about 28 net new warehouse openings in fiscal 2026 and are targeting 30 plus openings per year going forward. Capital expenditures are estimated at approximately 6.5 billion dollars for the full year.
Fine but not compelling. Acceptable results that likely do not create a meaningful forward reset.
Dividend
Costco pays an annual dividend of $5.88 per share, with a yield of about 0.59%. This reflects the company's commitment to returning value to its shareholders.
