Costco looks very good.

Costco will grow as fast as the top fortune 500 firms!
thump up we will reach several new all-time highs this and next year.

if the sales and earnings keep rising through out next year 2010 then we could reach 100 plus bucks

Did quite well through the recession. Continues to expand and each store rakes in the bucks growing larger and large same store sales the first five years. A great well loved merchandising concept that people really like. Limited product lines of higher than average quality. Steadily she grows.

Costco is one of the only retailers having earned above average ROIC which hasn't saturated its market. The company has amazing inventory turns(greater than Walmart even) helping show how well the company has been run. The company expects to more than double the number of stores(over roughly 10 years) which, when combined with same store sales growth, should help it grow earnings greater than the S&P for the forseeable future. As an added bonus, it should be able to pursue this growth irregardless of the overall economy as the company is a low cost provider of products; even if the economy takes 10 full years to recover this should perform well. Its selling at a fair price for these future gains.

This is just a guess, but I think that people will still want to celebrate the holidays; even if it's just to have a good meal with family. Costco is a proven winner in good times and bad and head to head with Sam's Club, I'd have to give them the edge.

Costco is a well-run company with a broad customer base. Once the US economy starts to exit the worst of the current crisis, Costco should swing up nicely.

People have made it a part of life, most people I know have a monthly or bi-monthly "Costco Run" planned not to mention going there fo software, books, art, Christmas presents, clothing....practically everything you can imagine for a reasonable price. Somethimes they fall off the "reasonable" wagon, but mostly they keep prices low so middle class people don't have to go to the dreaded "Wal-Mart" to support their lifestyles and families needs. It's a staple.

Good company. Still has lots of growth prospects IMO. Much better shopping experience than Sam's Club from personal experience. Love this place!

This is just a well run company that will do very well in the long term. They get more shoppers who will eventually start spending more money at Costco... So the per customer sales today are not the leading indicator, the increasing number of customers is.

COSTCO offers consumers great value on their merchandise, regardless of the commodity/items. As a result, their volume will continue to grow and volume is the answer to profits.

Shop there a lot. Frequent topic among friends who like to share what they think is great there--meats, good wine prices, books, etc. Well run.
