This retail powerhouse seems able to outstrip even Wal-Mart and attracts a more upscale customer. It is increasingly trusted by its subscribers to offer all kinds of products at good values, not otherwise obtainable. It is the "safe place" to buy high-end electronics and also hearing aids and funeral caskets. Subscribers drive to shop at the nearest Costco and the number is increasing. Amazingly, even the employees regard Costco with favor and employee surliness ( endemic in such retailers as KMart ) is unknown. They seem like happy campers and that enhances the shopping experience. Their subscriber model seems less sensitive to economic fluctuations although bad times almost require shopping for value.

As a stock, this company has had a long 15 year growth cycle with few downturns in that era. Even after the downturn, the rebound has been greater over the long term. It is the only stock that has remained in my radar since the 2008 downturn. I am hopeful that this growth cycle will continue for a bit longer.

They keep prices low, keep customers happy and provide good pay and benefits for employees too - which makes it easier to keep good employees.

Everyone wants a discount and with other retailers like Sears and Kmart failing, Wal-mart stagnating, Costco is growing and will continue to grow and do well.

Costco makes smart and thought out expansion plans. Although, increasing the price of membership may not be one of them. However, they are far better on pay, satisfaction and other things then their rivals, e.g. Sam's Club.

Costco Wholesale Corp (COST) allows customers, for the price of a membership, to shop for low prices in its no-frills, self-service warehouse facilities. Many items are sold by the case, carton, or multiple-pack quantities only. Most sell-side analysts like this stock and rate it a 'buy'.

All data is as of October 12, 2011, with the share price at $82. The p/e is about 24½, and the forward p/e is estimated to be 9¾, reflecting an expectation of an increase in earnings. The dividend is slightly over 1%. Institutions hold 78% of the stock. The 52-wk hi (86.34) was set in September, and the low (61.90) almost a year ago. The price of the stock has risen 28¼% in the last year. The price to book ratio is about 3.

Disclosure: I have shares of this stock in my real-life portfolio acquired at an average price of $78.97.

If costco focus on retaining their members and generate more membership fees, it is foreseeable that they can beat the bear market.

sold on a high and bought back on a dip after Q4 earinings. i think the company strategy is a good one regarding memberships cover the cost of doing business and rest is profit. Our local store is always crazy busy.
