## Valuation Lens

Costco often trades as a high-quality compounder, so valuation work should test what warehouse growth, comparable sales, renewal rates, and margin stability are already implied. A premium multiple becomes fragile when it assumes both flawless execution and unusually strong growth for too long.

## Update Triggers

Refresh after a new annual filing, material quarterly filing, major acquisition or divestiture, material product or platform transition, major regulatory action, or another event that changes a core thesis assumption. A price move by itself is not a content-update trigger unless the page publishes valuation data tied to that price.
