Costco stock barely moves after-hours as insider sale hits the tape ahead of key dates

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 18:54 EST — After-hours Shares of Costco Wholesale Corp (COST.O) dipped modestly on Tuesday, holding steady in after-hours trading as investors digested news of a recent insider sale amid the busy earnings season.

Costco stock slips after CPI; 3 near-term dates investors are watching for COST

Tuesday’s CPI reading fueled ongoing rate-cut chatter, stirring volatile action in defensive stocks. This comes just before a packed schedule of Costco-specific dates, as investors hunt for clues on traffic, renewal rates, and margins ahead of the upcoming
