Fundamentalssynced from SEC 53d ago
Across the nine graded ratios (FY2025 balance-sheet figures, P/E on FY2025 earnings, against the latest price), COST’s fundamentals read as fair overall.
Latest SEC earnings are from Feb 2026; the price-based ratios may lag a more recent quarter.
At 58.1x, the price is steep relative to profit; the stock leans heavily on growth that has yet to arrive.
Share price divided by earnings per share: what you pay for each $1 of yearly profit. Roughly 15 to 25 is typical, above 40 is richly priced, and negative means the company is losing money.
A 2.0% yield is a healthy, generally sustainable level of cash income.
The yearly dividend as a percent of the share price: the cash income each share pays out. Around 2 to 6% is healthy; above roughly 8% often signals the payout may be cut.
A 2.9% margin is thin; little of each revenue dollar survives as profit.
The share of revenue left as profit once every cost is paid. Above 15% is strong; below 5% leaves little cushion against a bad year.
A 31.2% return on equity is strong; the company compounds owners' capital well.
Profit earned on each dollar of shareholder equity: how well the company compounds its owners' capital. Above 15% is strong.
A 10.5% return on assets is strong; the company squeezes good profit from its assets.
Profit earned on each dollar of assets: how efficiently the whole asset base is used. Above 8% is strong.
At 1.96, the company carries a moderate, manageable amount of debt.
Total liabilities divided by shareholder equity: how heavily the company leans on borrowing. Below 1 is conservative; above 2 is highly leveraged.
At 0.97, short-term assets fall short of short-term bills; liquidity is tight.
Current assets divided by current liabilities: whether short-term resources cover short-term bills. Above 1.5 is comfortable; below 1 is tight.
Revenue grew 5.0% from the prior year: steady, modest expansion.
Change in annual revenue from the prior fiscal year: whether the top line is expanding. Above 10% is strong growth; below 0 means revenue is shrinking.
Net income grew 17.1% from the prior year: strong profit expansion.
Change in annual net income from the prior fiscal year: whether profit is expanding. Above 10% is strong; below 0 means profit is falling.
