COST Stock Recent News

Costco (NYSE: COST) is not like any other major retailer. People have to pay to shop there. Over 136 million people have decided to do so. Last year, membership fees brought in $4.8 billion from its 891 warehouse locations. There are two primary levels of membership at Costco. One is “Gold” members who pay $65 a year. The other is “Executive” members who pay $130 a year. The “Executive” members receive special privileges, including 2% cash back on their purchases, access to home and car insurance, and travel products. Costco has 38 million “Executive” members. There is a new reason to be an “Executive” member. You get to go into Costco stores earlier than everyone else. The “Executive” members can enter warehouses from 9 am to 10 am, Sunday through Friday. On Saturdays, the time is from 9:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. The other members can access the facility from 10 am on Sundays through Fridays and at 9:30 am on Saturdays.

Many younger Americans are opting to forego car ownership in the era of ride-hailing. It’s not just costly to buy or finance a new vehicle in this tough inflation-plagued economy, but car insurance, gas (or charges if you’re using an electric vehicle), regular maintenance, oil changes, tolls, and parking (as well as the occasional ticket) really do add up. And while you can Uber (or Lyft) to most places in the city, one does forgo a bit of freedom to go on those spontaneous road trips or bulk hauls over at the local Costco.
