Costco (NASDAQ:COST) may produce more items under its Kirkland Signature brand to offset tariff-induced costs, company officials said recently.
"We continue to work closely with our suppliers to find ways to mitigate the impact of tariffs," Costco CFO Gary Millerchip during the company's fiscal Q4 earnings call in late September. "This includes leaning into KS items and increasing domestically sourced goods. Examples include an increased emphasis on items in health and beauty, live goods, tires, and mattresses."
