@thezsmith @kara4theBNWO @Arcfox7 So $COST trailing PE is at a multiple of 52 and Forward PE is at 48x. Costco revenue growth in 2023 was 6.7% and NO that FPE is more than $NVDA. Costco’s debt to equity ratio is 0.45 while NVDIA has 0.25, which means NVdA has way better cash flow and has exceptional debt ratio. People are buying in the name without understanding valuation.

@kara4theBNWO @Arcfox7 Basically I do not see a huge upside for $COST and hence I cannot justify paying for expensive PUTs to hedge downside for a long window.

andy21 Posted - 1 hour ago

@Arcfox7 @kara4theBNWO I can still justify $NVDA trading at 41 FPE but not $COST. I sold Costco stock a while back.

$COST love the store and everything .. but not the stock at 40 times forward multiple which is literally $NVDA’s current FPE

$COST keep betting against Costco. Please do it. I like how I keep making money on this investment. Funny how I thought the shares in the high $680s to low $700s I bought in Jan / Feb might go red… I’ll keep buying and dripping. Have been since $300s.

$COST i wish i had money to manipulate the market, this should have hovered up and not fallen for the whole day. Hoping tomorrow is another 2% day please.

If you are ever looking to understand the difference between strong and shite technical charts, the earnings reaction for both $NFLX and $COST were nearly the same, the aftermath, not so much...

ChiefOptionsTrader Posted - 5 hours ago

$COST With Earnings coming out at the end of the month, I would not be surprised to see this stock trade in the $825-$850 range. With a Membership Fee increase, we are looking at $900+. A stock split and we are looking at $$$$.
