However, retailers like Costco (NASDAQ: COST) and Walmart (NYSE: WMT) are on an upswing as more and more customers resume shopping at these stores post the rollout of vaccines and relaxation of COVID-19 curbs. As a result, consumers continue to flock to these enormous stores augmenting sales for these retailers despite supply challenges-related container delays, increased labor and freight costs, and other constraints affecting deliveries. Given its strong value-proposition provided to its members, especially in the ongoing inflationary environment and the Street’s bullish stance, Costco seems to be a better pick than Walmart in the retail space.
