Costco Wholesale stock closed at USD 910.18 on the Nasdaq on September 8, 2026, losing 0.61 percent from the prior session. The move came as broad U.S. equities declined alongside rising oil prices and Middle East tensions, with the S&P 500 also finishing lower on the day.
September 8, 2026 in numbers
Costco Wholesale Corporation Inc. (ISIN US22160K1051, Nasdaq: COST) ended the September 8, 2026 session at USD 910.18 on the Nasdaq, compared with a previous close of USD 915.74, marking a 0.61 percent decline. Nasdaq quote data at portals such as Seeking Alpha indicated an official close of USD 915.74 and a last regular-session price of USD 910.18, with trading volume reported at roughly 2,213,000 shares for the day.
Market commentary from U.S. outlets tied Tuesday's move to renewed upward pressure on crude prices and risk aversion following fighting in the war with Iran, which weighed on retail and consumer stocks along with the wider market, according to a report by Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. A separate stock-market summary from Zacks noted that the S&P 500 closed at 7,718.41, down about 0.4 percent on September 8, 2026, underscoring that Costco's decline slightly exceeded the broader index's loss.
Upcoming earnings on September 24, 2026
Looking ahead, Costco Wholesale is scheduled to report results for its quarter ended August 2026 after the close of trading on September 24, 2026, a date confirmed in the earnings calendar at Zacks. The same overview cites a Zacks Consensus Estimate of USD 6.50 per share for that period, reflecting expectations for year-over-year earnings growth, while analysts surveyed by portals such as finanzen.ch also point to higher full-year earnings compared with the prior fiscal year, as reported on September 9, 2026 by finanzen.ch. Ahead of today's U.S. open, traders are therefore positioning Costco shares with the broader market in mind while also keeping the confirmed September 24, 2026 earnings release on the near-term calendar.
