#Financial Report Observer: Costco Q4 Earnings to be Announced Soon
Costco will release its Q4 financial results for fiscal year 2026 on September 25 Taiwan time. Market focus is not only on the revenue outlook, but also whether gross margin, membership fees, and renewal card performance can keep pace with sales growth. The company has already reported 16-week quarterly net sales of US$93.9 billion through August 30, up 11.3% year over year. Excluding currency effects and gasoline prices, same-store sales grew 6.7%, while digital channel sales grew 19.8%. The company ended the period with 939 global warehouses, including 14 in Taiwan. Membership fees in the prior quarter were US$1.373 billion, up 10.7% year over year, which can serve as this round’s baseline. If operating expense growth exceeds sales growth, profit improvement may be limited. Going forward, watch U.S. same-store sales, membership renewal rates, gross margin, and management’s trends in store expansion, inventory, and costs.
