Costco Wholesale (ISIN US22160K1051) was trading at EUR 847.45 at Lang & Schwarz on October 12, 2026 at 11:59 a.m. CEST as September net sales rose 13.00 percent year over year to USD 30.02 billion, according to GlobeNewswire on October 7, 2026. The report covered the five weeks ended October 4, 2026.
September sales hold above 7 percent
Comparable sales increased 11.40 percent in the September retail month, while the measure excluding gasoline prices and foreign exchange rose 7.60 percent. Digitally enabled sales increased 19.00 percent on a reported basis, giving Costco a second growth channel beyond warehouse traffic.
The calendar helped the comparison: Costco said the later Labor Day added more than 50 basis points to September total and comparable sales. That makes the adjusted 7.60 percent figure more useful than the headline 13.00 percent net-sales increase for judging underlying demand.
Three dated Costco milestones

On October 7, September net sales reached USD 30.02 billion. On October 12, the Lang & Schwarz quote stood at EUR 847.45.
What does the growth mean?
Fiscal 2026 total revenue reached USD 303.15 billion, up 10.14 percent from USD 275.24 billion in fiscal 2025. Net income reached USD 9.23 billion, compared with USD 8.10 billion a year earlier, but the fourth quarter included a non-recurring USD 0.15 per diluted share benefit from tariff refunds, a detail disclosed by Costco Investor Relations.
D.A. Davidson reiterated a Neutral rating and a USD 1,040.00 price target on October 8, 2026, according to Investing.com. The analyst cited growth opportunities in Texas while noting competition from other warehouse clubs, keeping valuation and membership growth central to the debate.
