E-commerceE-commerce sales increased 21.1% year-over-year, continuing to outpace the broader market.
ExpansionCostco is on target to open 30 locations this year with plans for approximately 25-30 new stores per year going forward.
Bears Say
Earnings GrowthIt's hard to see upside at this valuation (50x P/E for a company unlikely to grow earnings more than the LDD rate of the last 10-15 years).
Investor Expectations80-90% of the proceeds will be reinvested in price/member experience so investors should temper their expectations that it will be margin accretive near-term.
ValuationAn all-time high valuation creates a balanced risk/reward.
