    Costco Is In Prime Stock Split Territory: Will It Follow Walmart's Lead?

    Costco Wholesale Corp (NASDAQ:COST) share price has been on a remarkable ascent, trading above $800. This puts the retail giant in prime stock-split territory.

    Historically, stock splits occur after substantial price increases, and Costco’s impressive growth makes it a noteworthy candidate for such a move.

    Will Costco Follow Rival Walmart’s Footsteps?

    Walmart Inc‘s (NYSE:WMT) 3-for-1 stock split, initiated when its shares were trading below $200, sets a precedent. Costco’s stock price has far surpassed this level, climbing nearly 30% year-to-date and almost tripling over the past five years. The company's consistent performance and its share price near record highs suggest it could follow Walmart's example.

    Financials Bolster Future Outlook

    Costco's revenue growth remains robust. The company reported a 6.9% increase in net sales for the first 44 weeks of the year and a 5.3% rise in June's comparable sales. E-commerce continues to grow at a double-digit rate, bolstering the company's financial outlook.

    Moreover, Costco's recent decision to raise its annual membership fee by $5 indicates confidence in continued growth without alienating its customer base.

    Is A Costco Stock Split Eminent?

    Despite these indicators, Costco has not split its stock since 2000, when shares were valued below $100. A stock split would make shares more accessible to a broader range of investors, potentially spurring further interest and investment. The question remains whether Costco will act soon or hold off until the stock price hits $1,000 or more.

    A stock split could attract more attention and help Costco maintain its market leadership. However, some argue that a high share price alone isn’t a strong enough reason for a split. Companies like NVR Inc (NYSE:NVR) have high stock prices but haven’t split their shares.

    Ultimately, whether Costco opts for a stock split or not, its impressive financial performance and strong market position make it a solid long-term investment.
