Costco stock price slips after hours as SEC filing shows ‘greenwashing’ audit proposal fails
Costco shares fell about 0.7% to $976.17 in after-hours trading Thursday after an SEC filing showed shareholders rejected a proposal for a climate “greenwashing” audit. All director nominees were re-elected, and a quarterly dividend of $1.30 per share was announced. Investors are watching for January sales figures on Feb. 4 and the March 5 earnings call.
