    • Oppenheimer analyst Rupesh Parikh reiterated an Outperform rating on the shares of Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST) and raised the price target from $550 to $575.
    • The analyst added back Costco to top pick status after removing it from the list in November on concerns over aggressive Street forecasts and lingering discretionary big-ticket headwinds.
    • Given the pullback in shares since then, the company's better-than-expected delivery of bottom-line profitability on a sub 4% comparable sales, and more muted buyside N-T comp expectations, the analyst sees an improved nearer-term outlook for outperformance.
    • The improvement includes potential money flows amidst challenges at many discretionary retailers lately, added the analyst.
    • In the analyst's view, a membership fee increase and a special dividend still likely represent potential positive catalysts down the road.
    • U.S. adjusted comparable sales increased 1.7% in May with four-year adjusted U.S. comparable trends at 36.1% versus +35.9% in April and +37.0% in March.

    • 由于担心华尔街的激进预测和挥之不去的大宗不利因素,这位分析师在11月将好市多从名单中删除,将好市多重新列为首选地位。
    • 鉴于此后股价回调,该公司在可比销售额低于4%的基础上实现的利润好于预期,以及买方N-T竞争预期更加低迷,分析师认为短期内跑赢大盘的前景有所改善。
