- Costco Wholesale topped estimates for its fourth quarter, reporting higher profit and revenue on what outlets described as resilient consumer spending, yet its stock moved lower despite the beat.
- Costco has been issuing tariff refunds to members, with the warehouse club providing an update on how much it has returned to shoppers so far.
Why it matters: A beat-and-drop reaction suggests investors were looking past the headline EPS and revenue to something else in the report — guidance, margins, or tariff cost dynamics — while the ongoing tariff refunds show Costco is still absorbing trade-policy costs rather than passing them fully to members.
