PriceSmart (ISIN US7415111092) was last at USD 171.81 on Nasdaq on October 5, 2026, up 0.66 percent from the prior close of USD 170.68. PriceSmart is scheduled to publish fiscal fourth-quarter results on October 26, 2026, according to Makkler.

Third-quarter growth raises the bar

PriceSmart's third-quarter revenue reached USD 1.48 billion for the period ended May 31, 2026, up 12.5 percent from the prior-year quarter. Diluted EPS increased to USD 1.28 from USD 1.14, although the result missed the USD 1.32 consensus estimate, as MarketBeat reported.

The earnings-call transcript shows comparable net merchandise sales rose 10.7 percent in the quarter, while the 12-month membership renewal rate reached 90.5 percent as of May 31, 2026. Digital channel sales reached USD 99.6 million, a quarterly record and a 26.2 percent increase from the prior year, according to Yahoo Finance.

Analyst target stays above the quote

MarketBeat lists a Buy consensus from two analysts and an average 12-month price target of USD 198.00. That target lies 15.2 percent above the October 5 price of USD 171.81, leaving the upcoming results as the next test for the valuation case.

The comparison is mixed rather than one-sided: revenue exceeded the USD 1.43 billion consensus estimate, while diluted EPS fell short of expectations by USD 0.04. For investors, the October release will show whether higher sales growth can continue to translate into earnings growth after the quarterly miss.

Expansion adds future capacity

PriceSmart's third-quarter call outlined a planned USD 100 million investment in its first three Chilean clubs and central offices over several fiscal years. Management also described six clubs in the pipeline, which would lift the network to 63 locations, according to Yahoo Finance.

In Jamaica, the company opened its third club in Montego Bay on October 1, 2026, bringing the overall store count to 59. The location represented an investment of USD 27.6 million, Jamaica Observer reported.
