Hey there, fellow investor! I've been diving deep into Costco's latest news and numbers, and let me tell you, I'm pretty excited about this stock. Costco's been killing it lately, with their August sales jumping 7% to a whopping $19.8 billion. That's no small potatoes! What really caught my eye was Goldman Sachs calling Costco a long-term AI stock. Now, you might be thinking, 'Costco and AI? What's the connection?' Well, it's all about using AI to boost productivity and cut labor costs. It's like Costco's taking its famous bulk-buying approach to efficiency! The company's sitting pretty with a solid growth outlook too. Earnings are expected to grow 10.4% this year, which is nothing to sneeze at. And let's not forget their cash flow - it's like a river of green, with 14.1% growth! Sure, the stock's not cheap at 827, but sometimes you've got to pay up for quality, right? With analysts like Morgan Stanley bumping up their price targets, I think there's still room to run. My gut says we could see this baby hit 900 in the not-too-distant future. But here's the million-dollar question: Is Costco just a steady Eddie, or could it surprise us all with some AI-powered rocket fuel? Only time will tell, but I'm betting on the latter. After all, who doesn't love a good Costco surprise, whether it's in the store aisles or on your stock chart?
