Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST 0.28%) continues to demonstrate why it's a standout in the retail sector, with annual gains exceeding 20% across multiple time horizons. The company's success stems from a stakeholder-centric approach: competitive pricing for customers, above-market wages for employees, and consistent returns for shareholders through both stock appreciation and occasional special dividends.

At the heart of Costco's appeal lies its $65 annual membership model, generating nearly $5 billion in revenue this year. This recurring income stream—coupled with strong private-label Kirkland brand performance—forms the backbone of profitability. Yet valuation metrics give pause, with forward P/E ratios suggesting premium pricing.
