Is Costco Stock a Buy for 2025?
Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST) stock is an investor favorite. It looks almost completely immune to market changes, moving up steadily regardless of the macro environment. It was one of the few stocks that didn't plunge in the 2020 crash, and the company reported some of its best growth ever for the first two years of the pandemic.
Even though that's finished, the big-box retailer is building steadily on top of its past success, and the stock continues to beat the market. As wonderful as that is for shareholders, Costco stock is trading at its highest-ever valuation. Is Costco stock still a buy for 2025?
Costco has a differentiated retail business that generates loyalty, volume, and profits. It's a no-brainer business and no-brainer stock to own. Unlike most of its retail peers, Costco's stores are only open to paying members. In general, paying for the privilege of shopping in a store leads to exclusivity and targets an affluent clientele.
