Evercore analyst Greg Melich maintains $Costco (COST.US)$ with a buy rating, and maintains the target price at $985.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 69.5% and a total average return of 10.7% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Costco (COST.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
The company has demonstrated another strong quarter, exhibiting steady underlying trends, advancements in e-commerce with enhanced profitability, and vigorous membership growth. It is anticipated that the company's momentum will persist, noting that the current stock valuation appears to account for this expectation.
The firm noted that Costco's US traffic increase of 5.6% and gross margin improvement of 44 basis points are notable, particularly given the company's emphasis on value and expanding customer purchases through product innovation and appeal to younger members. It was highlighted that the company's digital expansion and fuel sales were key contributors to gross margin performance, which helped to balance out investments in SG&A wages.
The company has reported robust underlying earnings for Q4, with gross margins and comparable sales slightly surpassing forecasts, accompanied by a steady 6% increase in customer traffic globally. Although the projected EPS growth for FY24 is above average, a more prudent forecast is adopted for the upcoming years, considering the company's tradition of reinvesting member fee income increases. Nonetheless, the momentum in e-commerce growth is viewed positively, and the stock's valuation is considered appealing.

公司展示了另一個強勁的季度，展現了穩定的潛在趨勢，電子商務方面的進展提升了盈利能力，會員增長強勁。預計公司的勢頭將持續，需要注意的是，目前的股票估值似乎已經考慮到了這一預期。
該公司注意到好市多在美國的客流量增長了5.6%，毛利率提升了44個點子，這值得注意，尤其是考慮到該公司強調價值和通過產品創新和吸引年輕會員擴大客戶購買的重點。公司的數字擴張和燃油銷售成爲毛利率表現的重要貢獻者，有助於平衡對銷售費用費用的投資。
該公司已經公佈了Q4強勁的潛在收益，毛利率和可比銷售略微超過預期，全球客流量穩定增長了6%。儘管預計FY24的每股收益增長高於平均水平，但在未來幾年採取了更審慎的預測，考慮到公司重新投資會員費收入的傳統。儘管如此，電子商務增長的動能被看作是積極的，並且股票的估值被認爲是有吸引力的。
