Jefferies analyst Corey Tarlowe maintains $Costco (COST.US)$ with a buy rating, and maintains the target price at $1,050.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 66.2% and a total average return of 17.1% 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 demonstrated another robust quarter with sustained underlying trends, advancements in e-commerce with enhanced profitability, and strong membership patterns. Momentum is anticipated to persist for the company, although the current stock valuation appears to incorporate these expectations.
Costco's recent performance shows commendable U.S. traffic growth of 5.6% and a noteworthy increase in gross margins by 44 basis points. This success is attributed to the company's dedication to value, enhancement of customer baskets through product innovation, and increased appeal to younger members. Additionally, the positive effects of digital expansion and gas sales are evident in the gross margin improvements, which have balanced out the investments in wages and SG&A.
Costco has demonstrated robust underlying earnings for Q4, with gross margins and comparable sales slightly surpassing forecasts, complemented by a solid 6% increase in global customer traffic. Although the expectations for Costco's FY24 EPS growth are above average, a more cautious perspective is adopted for projected EPS growth in subsequent years due to the company's tradition of reinvesting member fee income gains. Nonetheless, the company's e-commerce expansion and the stock's valuation continue to present an encouraging picture.

富瑞集团分析师Corey Tarlowe维持$好市多 (COST.US)$买入评级，维持目标价1,050美元。
根据TipRanks数据显示，该分析师近一年总胜率为66.2%，总平均回报率为17.1%。
此外，综合报道，$好市多 (COST.US)$近期主要分析师观点如下：
该公司表现出又一个强劲的季度，持续的潜在趋势，电子商务的进步，盈利能力的提高，会员模式也很强劲。尽管目前的股票估值似乎包含了这些预期，但预计该公司的势头将持续下去。
Costco最近的表现显示，美国的流量增长了5.6％，值得称赞，毛利率增长了44个基点。这一成功归因于公司对价值的追求、通过产品创新扩大客户群以及增加对年轻成员的吸引力。此外，数字化扩张和天然气销售的积极影响在毛利率的提高中显而易见，这平衡了对工资和销售和收购的投资。
Costco在第四季度表现出强劲的基础收益，毛利率和可比销售额略高于预期，全球客户流量稳步增长了6％。尽管对Costco24财年每股收益增长的预期高于平均水平，但由于该公司对会员费收入收益进行再投资的传统，对未来几年的预期每股收益增长采取了更为谨慎的看法。尽管如此，该公司的电子商务扩张和该股的估值仍然令人鼓舞。
