Will Costco Pay a Special Dividend in 2026? Here's What History Says.
A special dividend is a nice shareholder reward, but that's not the main reason to invest in Costco.
Overview
Over the last five years, Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST) shareholders have been rewarded through a soaring stock price, which has climbed over 130% as of this writing. But they've also been rewarded by something else during that time frame: a special dividend payout.
In 2024, Costco paid a hefty special dividend of $15 per share. There isn't a clear pattern for when the company pays a special dividend, but given its assets and payout history, another special dividend may not be too far off.
