• 102362254 : I guess $Costco (COST.US)$ will end this week with the biggest % gain. Costco is financially strong, with steady revenue growth and high membership renewals. With the holiday season approaching, general sales particularly jewelry sales are expected to rise. Competing with retailers like Walmart and Amazon, Costco stands out by offering high-quality, exclusive pieces at great prices. Their in-store experience and brand trust give them an advantage, making it likely they’ll see strong earrings sales during this period.

• Lucas Cheah : $AAR Corp (AIR.US)$  diversified business model, strong recovery in commercial aviation, and stable defense contracts should lead to solid earnings growth over the next several quarters. However, inflationary pressures remain a risk to profitability.
  $Costco (COST.US)$  strong brand loyalty, pricing power, and membership-based model position it for continued earnings growth. The retailer is likely to benefit from inflationary trends as consumers seek value, making Costco a solid long-term performer.
  $BlackBerry (BB.US)$  future earnings potential hinges on the success of its cybersecurity and IoT business segments. While the company is well-positioned in growing markets, competition and slow revenue growth remain key challenges.
