    ISSAQUAH, Wash., Nov. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Costco Wholesale Corporation ("Costco" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:COST) today reported net sales of $20.03 billion for the retail month of October, the four weeks ended November 3, 2024, an increase of 7.2 percent from $18.68 billion last year.

    Net sales for the first nine weeks were $44.65 billion, an increase of 8.0 percent from $41.33 billion last year.

    Comparable sales were as follows:

    October results were negatively affected by a pull forward in sales from the abnormal consumer activity associated with the hurricanes and port strikes in September.
