Costco Earnings: 3 Numbers to Watch
Thanks to Costco's (NASDAQ: COST) practice of reporting monthly sales results, investors already know the retailer will likely announce robust revenue growth when it reports earnings on Thursday, Oct. 3. The warehouse giant revealed back in early September that comparable-store sales were up 5% through most of the fiscal fourth quarter, which puts it comfortably ahead of rival Walmart (NYSE: WMT) in the market share race.
That doesn't mean Thursday's report won't be packed with important information for investors, though. Let's look at a few of the metrics Costco will announce this week that could set the stage for the stock's performance over the next few months.
