Membership income supports the model

In fiscal fourth-quarter 2026, membership fee income rose 7.3 percent year over year to USD 1.85 billion, while paid members reached 84.1 million, according to Yahoo Finance. Executive members increased 9.4 percent to 42.3 million in the same quarter.

Sales growth meets premium valuation

Costco reported USD 95.72 billion in fiscal fourth-quarter revenue, up 11.1 percent year over year, while adjusted earnings per share reached USD 6.75, according to Yahoo Finance. The market still assigns a demanding valuation: the primary Nasdaq listing had a price-to-earnings ratio of 47.67 and a market capitalization of USD 438.4 billion as of October 21, 2026.
