Costco shoppers stocked up on supplies in anticipation of the US port strike and Hurricane Helene. The quick resolution to the port strike will likely minimize the disruption to the flow of imports. AdvertisementShoppers turned to Costco to prepare ahead of hurricanes and the US port strike. In a quirk of Costco bookkeeping, the final week of the retailing month of September actually ended on October 6. AdvertisementThe stoppage was relatively short-lived, and those preparations could minimize disruption for Costco as the ports work through any remaining backlogs.

☆ How major retailers Amazon, Best Buy, Costco, Home Depot prepared for the port strike
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-01 | by ( Paulina Likos | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +6 min

Club holdings Amazon , Costco , Home Depot , and Best Buy have been preparing for the port strike for months — attempting to blunt any fallout it might have on their abilities to get goods from overseas. They added that 60% to 70% of those imports arrive at East Coast and Gulf Coast ports. To put things in perspective, for retail goods, the East Coast ports are less utilized than the West Coast ports, Basham said. Due to its size, however, Best Buy often gets priority from its shippers, which could help secure goods faster than smaller competitors.

☆ We're upping our price target on Costco after another steady quarter fortifies our thesis

The report didn't blow us away, but it still offered plenty of reminders on why Costco investors should stick around. Total revenue in its fiscal 2024 fourth quarter totaled $79.7 billion, missing analysts' expectations of $79.97 billion, according to estimates compiled by LSEG. Costco has succeeded for decades, but the high inflation of recent years has made the company's value-focused ethos really shine. Put it all together, we're increasing our price target on the stock to $950 a share from $875. In the quarter, Costco's membership renewal rate in the U.S. and Canada came in at 92.9%, a tick lower than the 93% rate observed in the third fiscal quarter, while worldwide held constant at 90.5%.
