SUMMARY:COST Earnings December 2026
DESCRIPTION:Next COST Quarterly Earnings: Thursday\, December 10\, 2026 at 12:00 pm ET (5:00 pm London). \nDate to be confirmed by the publisher; this is the scheduled date. \n\nConsensus\nNot yet published\nPrior\n$4.50 EPS\, $67.31bn revenue (Q1 FY2026\, quarter ended Nov 2025)\, beat $4.28 estimate\nActual\nPending\n\nUpdated September 2\, 2026 \n\n← Previous COST Quarterly Earnings\nCostco Wholesale Corporation is expected to report its next quarterly earnings on December 10\, 2026\, at approximately 12:00 pm ET (5:00 pm London). Costco has not yet confirmed this exact date; the retailer typically reports its first-quarter results in the second week of December\, so the date and time here are an estimate based on that pattern. The report matters to markets because Costco is a bellwether for US consumer spending\, membership retail and warehouse club economics\, and its results are watched closely by investors in retail\, consumer staples and broader index funds. Full schedule and background: COST earnings calendar. \nWhat is the Costco Q1 earnings report?\nThis release covers Costco’s first fiscal quarter\, running from roughly September through November 2026 (Costco’s fiscal year runs from September to August\, so its “Q1” differs from the calendar year). Costco’s finance team\, led by the chief financial officer\, presents net sales\, membership fee income\, gross margin and earnings per share (EPS) on a conference call with analysts. The company does not typically hold a live public webcast with slides in the way some other retailers do; instead it issues a press release and holds an analyst call\, with a transcript published afterwards. \nAnalysts and investors focus on comparable sales (like-for-like sales excluding new store openings)\, membership renewal rates\, and e-commerce growth\, since these figures reveal whether Costco’s model of charging an annual membership fee in exchange for low prices is still drawing in new\, loyal shoppers. \nWhen is the Costco December 2026 earnings report and how to follow it\nCostco has not formally confirmed the date shown above. Retailers such as Costco typically report first-quarter results in the second full week of December\, roughly ten weeks after the quarter closes at the end of November. The company usually issues its results before US markets open or around midday\, followed by an earnings call. Investors can follow the release directly through Costco’s investor relations website\, where the press release\, financial statements and call transcript are usually posted within minutes of the announcement. \nWhat to expect\nA widely published consensus forecast for the December 2026 quarter has not yet been issued this far in advance. Once analyst estimates begin to firm up closer to the report date\, they typically appear on financial data platforms such as Bloomberg\, LSEG and Visible Alpha. \nHistorically\, analysts watching Costco’s results focus on: comparable sales growth (particularly in the US\, Canada and international markets)\, membership fee income and renewal rates\, gross margin trends amid tariff and freight cost pressures\, and e-commerce sales growth. Guidance risk tends to centre on labour costs\, membership fee increases\, and how much of any cost inflation Costco is willing to absorb rather than pass on to shoppers\, given its strategy of keeping prices low to protect membership loyalty. \nThe most recent confirmed quarterly result available is Costco’s first quarter of fiscal 2026 (the quarter ended in late November 2025)\, when the company reported revenue of $67.31 billion against analyst estimates of around $67.03 billion\, and GAAP earnings per share of $4.50 against an estimate of roughly $4.28\, according to a Yahoo Finance report on the results. For the prior fiscal year\, Costco’s fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 net sales rose 8.0% to $84.4 billion\, according to Costco’s own investor relations release. \n\n\n\nQuarter\nRevenue\nEPS\nvs estimate\n\n\n\n\nQ4 FY2025 (ended Aug 2025)\n$84.4 billion (full quarter net sales)\nNot separately confirmed\nNot verified\n\n\nQ1 FY2026 (ended Nov 2025)\n$67.31 billion\n$4.50 (GAAP)\nBeat estimate of $4.28\n\n\n\nFigures for the two most recent quarters before this were not fully verifiable from public sources at the time of writing and have been omitted rather than estimated. \nWhat the outcome could mean\n\n\n\nScenario\nLikely market read\nPlain-English meaning\n\n\n\n\nBeat\nShares could rise if revenue and EPS top analyst estimates and comparable sales stay strong\nCostco is selling more to existing members and controlling costs better than expected\n\n\nIn line\nMuted share reaction; focus shifts to guidance and membership trends\nCostco performed roughly as forecast\, so the story is in the details\, not the headline numbers\n\n\nMiss\nShares could fall\, especially if margins or comparable sales disappoint\nCost pressures or weaker shopper spending are squeezing profits more than expected\n\n\n\nWhat It Means for Your Money\nCostco is one of the largest constituents of major US indices\, so its results feed into the value of pensions and index funds that track the S&P 500 or Nasdaq\, even for savers who have never bought a Costco share directly. A strong report can lift broader consumer staples and retail sector funds\, while a weak one can drag on them. For everyday shoppers\, Costco’s commentary on pricing and cost inflation can be an early signal of whether grocery and household goods prices are likely to rise or hold steady in the months ahead\, in the US and\, to a lesser extent\, in the UK\, Canada and other markets where Costco operates warehouses. The report has limited direct effect on the pound\, euro or mortgage rates\, but it forms part of the broader picture of US consumer health that central banks\, including the Federal Reserve\, weigh when setting interest rates that ultimately influence savings and borrowing costs worldwide. \nRelated events\n\nCostco’s fiscal Q4 2026 earnings release\, typically reported in late September 2026\nUS retail sales data\, published monthly by the US Census Bureau\nFederal Reserve interest rate decisions\, which influence US consumer borrowing and spending\n\nFrequently Asked Questions\nWhen will Costco report December 2026 earnings?\nThe date and time above are estimated based on Costco’s usual pattern of reporting first-quarter results in the second week of December; the company has not yet confirmed the exact date. \nIs there a consensus forecast for this Costco earnings report?\nA consensus forecast has not yet been published this far ahead of the report; analyst estimates typically firm up closer to the release date. \nWhat was Costco’s most recent quarterly result?\nIn its most recently confirmed quarter\, ended in late November 2025\, Costco reported revenue of $67.31 billion and GAAP earnings per share of $4.50\, beating the analyst estimate of $4.28\, according to Yahoo Finance. \nDoes Costco’s earnings report affect stock markets outside the US?\nYes\, because Costco is a large index constituent and a US consumer bellwether\, its results can influence sentiment toward global retail and consumer staples shares\, including those held in UK and European pension and index funds. \nWhere can I watch or read the Costco earnings release live?\nCostco publishes its results and call details on its official investor relations website\, where the press release and transcript are typically posted shortly after the announcement. \n← Previous COST Quarterly Earnings
