      Costco's Upcoming Earnings Report to Test US Consumer Resilience

      Costco Wholesale Corporation is set to release its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings on Thursday, with analysts anticipating earnings per share (EPS) between $6.53 and $6.55, alongside projected revenue of approximately $94.9 billion. This report comes at a critical time as questions arise regarding the strength of the US consumer amid rising inflation and fluctuating spending habits.

      Recent data indicates that US retail sales rose by 1.2% in August, surpassing expectations, and suggesting that consumer spending remains robust despite a challenging economic environment characterized by a 3.4% increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and a significant 27.4% rise in gasoline prices compared to the previous year. Costco's early sales figures for the fourth quarter show net sales of $93.9 billion, reflecting an 11.3% year-on-year increase, which may provide insights into consumer behavior during this period.

      Key indicators to watch during the earnings call include customer traffic, average basket size, membership growth, and management's commentary on discretionary spending. In the previous quarter, Costco reported a 2.4% increase in shopping frequency and a 7.3% rise in average transaction value, with paid memberships reaching 82.9 million and renewal rates in the US and Canada remaining strong at 92.2%. These metrics suggest that consumers are not retreating but are instead becoming more selective in their spending, seeking greater value for their purchases.
