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.

富瑞集團分析師Corey Tarlowe維持$好市多 (COST.US)$買入評級，維持目標價1,050美元。
根據TipRanks數據顯示，該分析師近一年總勝率為66.2%，總平均回報率為17.1%。
此外，綜合報道，$好市多 (COST.US)$近期主要分析師觀點如下：
該公司表現出又一個強勁的季度，持續的潛在趨勢，電子商務的進步，盈利能力的提高，會員模式也很強勁。儘管目前的股票估值似乎包含了這些預期，但預計該公司的勢頭將持續下去。
Costco最近的表現顯示，美國的流量增長了5.6％，值得稱讚，毛利率增長了44個點子。這一成功歸因於公司對價值的追求、通過產品創新擴大客戶群以及增加對年輕成員的吸引力。此外，數字化擴張和天然氣銷售的積極影響在毛利率的提高中顯而易見，這平衡了對工資和銷售和收購的投資。
Costco在第四季度表現出強勁的基礎收益，毛利率和可比銷售額略高於預期，全球客戶流量穩步增長了6％。儘管對Costco24財年每股收益增長的預期高於平均水平，但由於該公司對會員費收入收益進行再投資的傳統，對未來幾年的預期每股收益增長採取了更爲謹慎的看法。儘管如此，該公司的電子商務擴張和該股的估值仍然令人鼓舞。
