Costco (COST) earnings topped Wall Street estimates for the first time in five quarters Wednesday, but Costco stock has already discounted the good news â and then some. Costco earnings came in strong despite the drop in gas prices, thanks to robust back-to-school sales and an increase in membership fees.
Costco employs about 174,000 full and part-time employees. As of February 2013, Costco had 71.2 million members. Costco was the first company to grow from zero to $3 billion in sales in under six years. For the fiscal year ending on August 31, 2012, the company's sales totaled $97.062 billion, with $1.709 billion net profit. Costco is 19th on the 2014 Fortune 500. The ACSI (The American Customer Satisfaction Index) named Costco number one in the specialty retail store industry with a score of 83 in Q4 2008.
