Costco a depasit asteptarile cu rezultatele sale din primul trimestru, alimentate de cresterea vanzarilor de produse alimentare la preturi accesibile si de articole de prima necesitate. Accentul pus de companie pe preturi mai mici si pe un program de loialitate a atras mai multi cumparatori. S-au inregistrat cresteri la alimentele proaspete si la brandul lor Kirkland Signature din cauza inflatiei, in timp ce vanzarile de produse electronice s-au imbunatatit si ele. Vanzarile puternice de Black Friday si Cyber Monday ale Costco semnaleaza optimism pentru sezonul de sarbatori. Veniturile au crescut semnificativ, totalizand 57.8 mld. USD, depasind estimarile analistilor, cu un profit pe actiune de 3.58 USD. Acest succes a dus la anuntarea, de catre Costco, a unui dividend special in numerar pentru actiunile sale ordinare.

In earnings calls and investor conferences in recent weeks, several US retailers have flagged that customers have begun migrating to cheaper products. Others are bracing for more to do so in the coming months.

Many large companies, including retailers, have been able to increase profits during the Covid-19 pandemic even while facing rising costs for shipping and staffing. Passing along price increases to customers while cutting expenses has been a common path to raising profit margins, but the latest results suggest there might be limits to that strategy amid current economic conditions.&nbsp

The broader concerns within the retail and consumer-goods sectors weighed on companies including Best Buy Co. (US.BBY), Macy’s Inc. (US.M), Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc. (US.DKS), Dollar General Corp. (US.DG) and Costco Wholesale Corp. (US.COST) in Wednesday trading. Shares of those companies dropped more than 10% on Wednesday. Lowe’s (US.LOW) Cos. said comparable sales fell 4% in its first quarter, driven lower by cooler weather and reduced spending from consumers completing their own home renovations. Home Depot Inc. (US.HD) reported a quarterly sales increase of 3.8%, but said fewer shoppers visited the home-improvement chain’s stores.
