Costco sales jump 13% in September, driven by strong customer traffic and digital growth

Costco reported a 13% increase in net sales for September, reaching about $30 billion, marking a strong start to fiscal year 2027. The growth was supported by an 11.4% rise in comparable sales and a 19.1% increase in digitally enabled sales, reflecting strong customer demand both in physical stores and online. Key sales categories like gasoline, pharmacy, and food courts saw significant gains, while regions such as the Midwest and Southeast US performed well. Despite this strong start, analysts remain cautious as it is still early in the fiscal year.

Costco shares trade at USD 946.45 on Pluang as of Oct 09, 2026 01:21 WIB, showing a modest 0.45% gain for the day. Despite strong September sales growth reported by the company, Pluang investors currently lean heavily towards selling, with 98% of order activity in that direction. The stock remains well below its 52-week high of USD 1.09K but above the 52-week low of USD 849.63, reflecting mixed investor sentiment early in fiscal 2027.
