"Costco's fundamentals are impressive, with FY2025 revenue reaching $275.235 billion, an 8.17% increase year over year, and net income of $8.099 billion, up 9.94%. The most recent quarter showed continued growth, with Q2 FY2026 revenue at $69.597 billion, up 9.22%, and EPS of $4.58, beating estimates by 0.78%."
"The membership model provides a recurring revenue layer that most retailers cannot match, with paid memberships at 82.1 million in Q2 FY2026 and a renewal rate of 89.7%. Membership fee income reached $1.355 billion, up 13.6% year over year, showcasing strong customer loyalty."
"Digital momentum is significant, with app visits growing 63% in Q2 FY2026, e-commerce site traffic rising 32%, and average order value climbing 15%. Costco's 10-year return of 659.37% outpaces virtually every major retailer, indicating strong long-term performance."
Costco Wholesale has established a robust retail franchise with a market cap of approximately $432 billion. The Dow Jones Industrial Average's selection process is managed by a committee and is price-weighted. Costco's high share price would make it a significant component if included. In FY2025, Costco reported revenue of $275.235 billion and net income of $8.099 billion. The membership model and digital growth contribute to its strong performance, but Walmart's presence in the Dow may limit Costco's chances of inclusion.
