Costco reports on Thursday, October 5th after the closing bell. Heading into earnings, the company has a fairly straight forward R/R portfolio:
- Costco enjoys being a major retailer in the US with a wide array of products in multiple markets. - The company's eCommerce capabilities are picking up steam and contributing meaningfully to revenue. eCommerce global expansion is aiding sales growth. - Costco's membership club is expanding and drawing in customers in the US and globally.
- The overall market is a fierce competitive one, with giants like Wal-Mart WMT and Target TGT, among others, fighting for every consumer. - Consumer spending, although picking up from highs, remains at a sluggish growth rate, hurting industry prospects.
I believe the pros will outweigh the cons for the expected quarter and Costco will beat expectations.
Starting Costco with a $178.00 Price Target for the post-earnings price action.
