Costco (COST) stock rises as filing confirms $1.30 dividend and defeats “greenwashing” audit vote
Costco shares rose 1.9% to $982.86 in after-hours trading Wednesday after a new SEC filing showed shareholders rejected a “greenwashing” risk audit proposal but backed the board and executive pay. The company set Jan. 30 as the record date for its $1.30 quarterly dividend, payable Feb. 13. Investors now await Costco’s earnings call on March 5.
