The average analyst estimate, as compiled by Finnhub: EPS of $5.03 and revenue of $75.7B.

No revenue figure for the coming quarter was found in Costco Wholesale Corp's latest earnings release (September 24, 2026). Many companies give their outlook on the conference call, as a growth rate, or not at all; this page quotes one only when the release states it. Read the release

Revenue by quarter

Reported, from the 10-Q and 10-K filings

Diluted EPS by quarter

$ per share, as reported

On today’s share basis: figures from before a stock split are divided by it, so every quarter compares.

‡ A fourth quarter is the year’s EPS less the first three quarters’, calculated by The Dispatch: a 10-K reports the year, not the quarter. It can differ by a cent or two from the company’s own figure, because the share count moves during the year.
