Costco Wholesale Corporation reported solid January sales growth, with net sales rising 9.3% year over year to $21.33 billion for the four weeks ended February 1, 2026. For the first 22 weeks of the fiscal year, net sales increased 8.5% to $123.16 billion.
Comparable sales grew 7.1% globally for the four-week period and 6.6% over 22 weeks, led by strong performance in Canada and international markets, while digitally enabled comparable sales surged 34.4% for the month. Excluding the effects of gasoline price changes and foreign exchange, total company comparable sales rose 6.4% for the four weeks and 6.3% year to date. The later timing of Lunar and Chinese New Year modestly weighed on international results.
