Costco Wholesale (ISIN US22160K1051) declared a USD 1.47 quarterly dividend on October 14, 2026, extending the company event sequence that has supported the stock's investor appeal. The payment is scheduled for November 13, 2026, for shareholders of record on October 30, 2026, according to Costco Wholesale.

Dividend sets the near-term calendar

The dividend is the latest dated corporate action. Its USD 1.47 per-share amount and November 13 payment date give investors two concrete dates for the next distribution cycle, while the October 30 record date defines eligibility.

Three signals from Costco

Costco's chronology shows a consistent operating narrative. On September 24, 2026, the company reported fiscal fourth-quarter and full-year results; on October 7, 2026, it reported September net sales of USD 30.02 billion, up 13.00 percent year over year; and on October 14, 2026, it declared the USD 1.47 dividend. The September sales release also reported total comparable sales growth of 11.40 percent and digitally enabled sales growth of 19.00 percent, according to GlobeNewswire.

What does the sales growth mean?

The key comparison is between sales growth and digital momentum. September revenue rose 13.00 percent from USD 26.58 billion a year earlier, while digitally enabled sales increased 19.00 percent. Costco also operated 939 warehouses as of the October 14 dividend release, giving the sales figures a broad physical and digital base.

Next dates for shareholders

The next substantiated dates are October 30, 2026, the record date for the dividend, and November 13, 2026, the payment date. These dates matter more immediately than a new earnings estimate because they are fixed corporate actions disclosed by the company.
