Costco Stock Gains 0.74% as Fiscal Q2 Sales Reach $69.6 Billion

Costco stock rose 0.74% to $1,048.95 on May 15, 2026 after fiscal second quarter 2026 earnings reached $4.58 per share on $69.6 billion in revenue. The shares kept trading near record levels, leaving the market to weigh a premium price against another quarter of growth.

Costco Wholesale Results

$4.58 per share came in for fiscal second quarter 2026 as Costco Wholesale Corporation continued to lean on its membership-based warehouse club model. Membership fees provide a relatively stable and high-margin revenue stream, while the larger revenue engine remains merchandise sales across food, household products, appliances, electronics, apparel and seasonal goods.

$69.6 billion in revenue marked about 9.1% year-over-year growth, according to Investing.com as of 05/15/2026. That pace keeps the company’s top line expanding even as its stock already sits near record territory, which keeps the valuation debate tied to execution rather than promises.

May 15, 2026 Close

$1,048.95 was Costco’s closing price on Nasdaq on May 15, 2026, after the stock gained 0.74% for the day. The move left shares near record levels, a setup that forces investors to judge whether the quarter’s sales momentum justifies paying up for the name.

0.74% in one session is modest on its own, but it arrived alongside another solid quarter of growth and a market value already pressing highs. Costco’s management has also highlighted expansion outside North America as a strategic growth pillar, adding another growth lane for a company that still relies on a membership fee base and high-volume merchandise sales.

$69.6 billion and $4.58 now define the quarter, and the next read-through is whether that pace can keep supporting a stock price already near record levels. If sales keep advancing at roughly the same rate, the debate shifts from whether Costco can grow to whether the market is willing to keep paying for it.
