Costco stock: Q4 earnings beat estimates, revenue tops $95.72B

Costco stock jumped after the warehouse operator reported fiscal Q4 revenue of $95.72 billion, beating Wall Street estimates for the period.

Costco said total revenue for fiscal fourth quarter was $95.72 billion, topping the Street estimate and rising from $86.16 billion a year earlier, according to TradingView’s report of the results.

The company posted diluted earnings per share of $6.75, above analysts’ consensus; multiple outlets reported the EPS beat alongside the revenue surprise.

Analysts had expected revenue nearer to the mid-$94 billion range, and Benzinga/TradingView noted the fourth-quarter result exceeded a Street estimate of about $94.86 billion.

Costco’s fiscal fourth-quarter performance also included continued comparable-store strength; a market report observed comparable sales growth and gains in digital channels as part of the quarter’s driver mix.

Investors will be watching Costco’s conference-call details and management commentary for drivers behind the beat and any guidance updates; the company scheduled a Q4 2026 earnings webcast on its investor relations site.

For context, the results arrive amid persistent consumer spending on essentials and growing e-commerce penetration for membership retailers, themes several outlets flagged while reporting the numbers.

Costco stock appears positioned to react to the call’s tone on membership trends, fuel and tariff impacts mentioned by analysts, and management’s outlook for the new fiscal year.
