Situation summary

Costco’s sector-leading ROIC and rapid revenue growth support its premium valuation, but the forward P/E of 44.5x is well above peers. Recurring membership income and digital sales momentum remain intact. The main stress is that current profitability and margins have not fully caught up with the valuation. More defensible pricing would require sustained digital expansion and visible margin improvement.
