January 26, 2026, 8:03 PM EST. Costco Wholesale (COST) shares have surged over 13% year to date in 2026, outperforming the S&P 500 by more than 10 percentage points. The company's fiscal first-quarter results showed net sales growth of 8.2% to $66 billion and a 6.4% increase in comparable sales, excluding gas and forex effects. Membership fee income rose 14%, driven by price hikes and membership upgrades. Digital sales climbed 20.5%, signaling Costco's strength in e-commerce. Despite the strong momentum, shares trade at a high valuation, reflecting investor confidence in Costco's resilient membership-based model and steady expansion. The key question remains whether investors have missed out or if Costco is still a compelling buy amid lofty prices.
