The US Consumer -- Retail -- Costco Earnings -- EPS Easily Beat The Whisper Number -- September 26, 2024

Locator: 48402RETAIL.

Tag: COST, Costco.  

Ticker after results: down 1.5%.  

Observations:

  • P/Es -- this is hard to believe:
    • COST: 56
    • NVDA: 58
  • Dividends: both pay minimal dividends, thought COST is much higher;
  • Share price:
    • COST: $900 / share
    • NVDA: $125 / share

Which would you rather own? Last year. Three years ago I had a position in neither of these companies. Shortly after that I started building a position in one of these two companies. If you bought both either of these companies one year ago:

Margins? I can only guess. 60% vs 7%. Use your own numbers.
