Is Now a Good Time to Buy Costco Wholesale Stock?
Costco is lagging the S&P 500 so far this year, but it can still be a long-term winner in a portfolio.
Overview
Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST) has provided steady returns so far in 2026, climbing 11.5% as of this writing, but it's still being outperformed by the S&P 500's 13.7% return.
Aside from an upcoming earnings report, it may not have many company-specific catalysts to send the stock price much higher this year. But even if it gets beaten by a few percentage points by the S&P 500 in 2026, that isn't a reason to overlook the long-term benefits of owning the stock.
