PriceSmart (ISIN US7415111092) last stood at USD 170.68 on Nasdaq on October 2, 2026, up 1.81 percent from the prior session. The latest operating figures show why the stock remains closely tied to execution: Q3 fiscal 2026 revenue reached USD 1.482 billion, up 12.5 percent year over year, while diluted EPS rose 12.3 percent to USD 1.28.

Quarterly growth stays broad

According to Yahoo Finance, PriceSmart discussed its third quarter ended May 31, 2026, with comparable net merchandise sales up 10.7 percent. Operating income increased 16.7 percent to USD 65.6 million, while adjusted EBITDA rose 14.5 percent to USD 90.4 million.

The membership engine also delivered a measurable contribution. Membership income increased 17.6 percent year over year, and the 12-month renewal rate reached 90.5 percent as of May 31, 2026, according to the same Yahoo Finance transcript.

Digital sales add a second engine

Digital channel sales reached USD 99.6 million in Q3 fiscal 2026, a 26.2 percent increase from the prior-year period, and represented 6.9 percent of net merchandise sales, according to ScanX. The comparison matters because digital growth exceeded total revenue growth by 13.7 percentage points, giving PriceSmart an additional channel beyond warehouse traffic.

The quarter was not uniformly ahead of expectations. MarketBeat reported that USD 1.28 in EPS missed the USD 1.32 consensus estimate by USD 0.04, even as revenue exceeded the USD 1.43 billion estimate.
