Costco Wholesale reported higher sales and earnings than expected for its fiscal fourth quarter, proving its worth yet again as a haven from economic volatility. The warehouse club posted earnings of $4.28 a share, while the consensus call among analysts tracked by FactSet was for $4.24. Shares of Costco were down 0.4% in after-hour trading Thursday, reversing gains immediately after the report’s release.
The warehouse-club chain is taking steps to reduce its exposure to tariffs by pulling orders forward and moving sourcing of private-label products to the regions where they are sold.
