Costco released earnings today and is looking good, really good.
Attached are four charts comparing Costco's quarter one year over year sales and net income since 2003. The trend is clearly "taking wings" in the current quarter.
Wall Street has always complained about how Costco runs their business, such as gross margin is too small. Now, they don't like that Costco is still paying a $2.00/hr. hazardous pay to their employees.
