D.A. Davidson kept its USD 1,040.00 price target for Costco Wholesale (US22160K1051) on October 8, 2026, according to Investing.com. The analyst maintained a Neutral rating after a warehouse club tour in Texas. Costco then reported September net sales of USD 30.02 billion, up 13.00 percent from USD 26.58 billion a year earlier.

Three sales signals set the tone

The chronology is clear. On September 24, 2026, Costco reported fiscal fourth-quarter total revenue of USD 95.72 billion and diluted earnings per share of USD 6.75, according to Costco Investor Relations. On October 7, 2026, the company reported September sales of USD 30.02 billion, according to GlobeNewswire. On October 8, 2026, D.A. Davidson reiterated its Neutral rating and USD 1,040.00 target, according to Investing.com.

What does September growth measure?

The strongest operating comparison is the 7.60 percent increase in comparable sales excluding gasoline prices and foreign exchange during the five-week retail month ended October 4, 2026, as GlobeNewswire reported. Digitally enabled sales increased 19.00 percent year over year, while the timing of Labor Day added more than 50 basis points to September sales. That split matters because the headline 13.00 percent gain included gasoline and currency effects, whereas the adjusted comparison shows the underlying pace more clearly.

Next company date is October 14

Costco's prerecorded discussion of the September results will remain available through October 14, 2026, according to GlobeNewswire. The date gives investors a defined point for additional commentary on comparable sales, digital demand and the effect of gasoline prices.
