Latest COST News
Can Costco Absorb Rising Costs On A 3.9% Margin?
Costco Wholesale (COST) sells a huge volume of goods. It keeps only a thin slice of each sale as profit. The prices Costco pays for consumer electronics and oil-based goods such as motor oil are now rising. Management has said it is difficult to predict where inflation goes from here. The loose end in your Costco thesis is how much of that cost rise the company can absorb before its profit shrinks.
Is One Number Reason Enough To Sell Costco Stock?
About 3 percentage points of Costco Wholesale's fiscal Q4 2026 sales growth came from higher gas prices. That part of the growth reflects what a gallon cost, not how much members bought. Holders pay a high price for Costco's growth, so where the growth comes from matters. Why did gas add so much to Costco's sales in one quarter.

Its shares are up roughly 60% year-to-date, far outpacing Walmart and Costco, which have gained less than 6% over the same period. That raises an obvious question: has Target actually become a much better business, or has the stock simply gotten […]
How Risky Is Home Depot Stock?
Home Depot (HD) stock has fallen 12.6% in a month, with no company news to explain it, while the S&P 500 slipped 0.3%. The loss came while the market was flat, so a market fall could further worsen the situation. Holders who stay are counting on the stock to recover as it did after past shocks. Holders are also counting on a business as profitable as it was then. So how risky is Home Depot stock if the market turns down.
Can Kroger's Digital Growth Offset Its Softer Fiscal 2026 Sales View?
KR's 20% e-commerce growth and improving digital profits support its mix, but softer identical-sales guidance and cost pressures cloud fiscal 2026.
Is Kroger Stock a Buy as Value Meets Slower Comparable-Sales Growth?
KR's low valuation, resilient earnings and digital growth offer support, but slower identical sales and rising costs keep the near-term outlook balanced.

A massive surge in Treasury bond yields, which lifted 10-year notes to the highest since 2007, paired with a worrying summer rally in global crude prices that has oil trading firmly north of $100 a barrel, leaned heavily on stocks but didn’t tip them over.

Tech stocks, in fact, have largely weathered a series of “end of days” headlines from the AI space, with an index of semiconductor stocks falling around 3.3% over the past month and those in the information technology edging just 1.2% lower despite the torrent of stories tied to apocalyptic AI risks.
