If oil prices stay high, items with plastic, or apparel made of polyester or cotton, could remain more expensive, ‌he said.\"That ⁠investment in everyday-low-price positioning during a period of macroeconomic uncertainty is classic Costco,\" said Bryan Hayes, stock strategist at Zacks Investment Research. But, he said, \"it does suggest that the gross margin line could face modest near-term pressure as the company prioritizes member loyalty over rate.\"Including gas, U.S. comparable sales jumped 9.4% during the quarter, beating analysts' estimate of a near 7% rise, according to data compiled by LSEG.Costco's shares have gained about 15% so far ⁠this year, compared with an 8% rise in the S&P 500 Consumer Staples index. They were unchanged in extended trading.Line chart showing Costco shares over the past five years against peers, sector indexCostco is also investing in fast delivery, at a time when giants such as Walmart and Amazon are whittling down shipping times in a quest for e-commerce dominance.

If oil prices stay high, items with plastic, or apparel made of polyester or cotton, could remain more expensive, ‌he said.\"That ⁠investment in everyday-low-price positioning during a period of macroeconomic uncertainty is classic Costco,\" said Bryan Hayes, stock strategist at Zacks Investment Research. But, he said, \"it does suggest that the gross margin line could face modest near-term pressure as the company prioritizes member loyalty over rate.\"Including gas, U.S. comparable sales jumped 9.4% during the quarter, beating analysts' estimate of a near 7% rise, according to data compiled by LSEG.Costco's shares have gained about 15% so far ⁠this year, compared with an 8% rise in the S&P 500 Consumer Staples index. They were unchanged in extended trading.Line chart showing Costco shares over the past five years against peers, sector indexCostco is also investing in fast delivery, at a time when giants such as Walmart and Amazon are whittling down shipping times in a quest for e-commerce dominance.
