Costco Wholesale (COST) reported strong Q2 2026 results with US$69.6 billion revenue, US$4.58 EPS, and 7% same-store sales growth, continuing its trend of reliable profit growth for bulls. However, bears highlight a premium valuation, with a 52.3x trailing P/E significantly above peers and anticipated growth rates below market averages, questioning whether the current stock price is justified. The latest figures provide both support and challenges to analyst forecasts, underscoring the ongoing debate between Costco’s consistent performance and its high valuation.
