Costco
Wholesale Corporation has presented quite disappointing earnings report for the
Fiscal Q1 2023. Revenues were reported up 8.1% year-on-year to $54.44 billion
missing expectations of $54.65 billion. This is obviously not the reason for
long-term investors to remove COST stocks from their portfolios as the company
is set to maintain strong financial discipline and cost structure, not to
stimulate high growth in the short term at any cost.
The operational
margin in financial Q1 2022 was at 3.4%, and in Q1 2023 it was 3.2%. Costco is
aiming to provide the most reasonable prices on their products to keep their
clients loyal. That is why the operational margin is suffering. Meanwhile, EPS
was up by 4.4% to $3.1, and membership fees rose by 6% year-on-year. So, the
strategy seems to be buying itself.
Inflation
in the United States is expected to return under control over the next year.
So, there will be no need to deliver various marketing activities like coupon
sales and others while loyal clients will be grateful for the support during
the period of uncertainty. Costco is planning to open 24 new stores in 2023,
increasing its potential to generate revenues.
