Costco stock held near $949.58 on August 12, 2026, with a $421.12 billion market value and a consensus target above $1,059.53.

Costco Wholesale (ISIN US22160K1051) closed at $949.58 on August 12, 2026, while its market capitalization stood at $421.12 billion and the stock traded 0.56% higher on the session. That leaves COST well inside its 52-week range of $844.06 to $1,096.50.

Valuation stays rich

The latest market snapshot also shows a price-to-earnings ratio of 47.77, a dividend yield of 0.62%, and volume of 1.31 million shares versus average volume of 2.00 million. MarketBeat also lists a consensus price target of $1,059.53, about 11.6% above the closing price.

For investors, that combination points to a stock that is still priced for quality and consistency rather than a quick rerating.

Fresh report context

The newest company-wide operating figures in the search set come from the most recent reported quarter, with Costco’s fiscal third-quarter 2025 revenue at $63.21 billion and diluted EPS at $4.28. In that same period, membership fee income reached $1.24 billion, up from $1.12 billion a year earlier.

That year-over-year rise in membership fee income is a concrete comparison: $1.24 billion versus $1.12 billion. It matters because membership revenue is one of the clearest gauges of Costco’s recurring economics.

Warehouse model still drives scale

Costco’s business still rests on membership warehouses and e-commerce, a model that helps explain why the market keeps assigning it a premium multiple. The latest valuation readout of 47.77 times earnings shows how much investors are paying for that scale.
