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

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 11:14 ET — Regular session Costco Wholesale shares dipped Tuesday, surrendering some of Monday’s gains as investors absorbed new inflation data and shuffled their bets in retail stocks.

New York, January 12, 2026, 17:35 ET — After-hours trading Shares of Costco Wholesale Corp climbed nearly 2% on Monday, then held steady after hours following a regulatory filing revealing a senior executive’s stock sale. The disclosure arrives as Costco’s stock regains momentum following a strong start to the year, though it remains jittery over signs of slowing growth. The company’s high valuation leaves scant margin for any dip in performance. Investors face a familiar dilemma: consistent traffic and membership fees on one hand, versus a stock that can react harshly to even minor setbacks on the other. Costco led
