Costco Reports Q4 Fiscal 2026 Results; Membership Fee Income Slowing
What happened
Costco reported its fiscal 2026 fourth-quarter results on September 24. The company disclosed that net sales for the quarter reached $93.9 billion, marking an 11.3% increase year over year. While sales figures are public, the full report will reveal gross margin, earnings, and membership fee income.

Why it matters
The Q4 report is significant because membership fee income, which made up about half of Costco's operating income in fiscal 2025, is losing its growth momentum. This trend follows the implementation of higher U.S. and Canada membership fees in September 2024.
