RBC Capital initiates Costco coverage with $1,000 price target, citing strong growth prospects.
RBC Capital Markets has initiated coverage of Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST) with a Sector Perform rating and a $1,000 price target. While praising Costco's unique business model and growth prospects, RBC also notes that these positives are already reflected in the current share price.
Key points
- RBC highlights Costco's consistent market share gains and loyal high-income customer base as key competitive advantages.
- The $1,000 price target is based on approximately 40 times the firm's fiscal 2028 adjusted EPS estimate of $25.00, suggesting limited upside from current levels.
- RBC's valuation concerns stem from Costco trading at 36.5 times the firm's fiscal 2028 EPS estimate, compared to the company's 10-year median of 33.4 times.
