Retail giant Costco reported a year-to-year 9% increase September net sales and comparable sales on Wednesday, with the East and Gulf coast port strikes and Hurricane Helene receiving credit for a late push to close the month.
Costco reported September net sales of $24.62 billion, up from $22.59 billion at this time last year. Total comparable sales for September rose 6.7%, however, that figure was 8.9% when adjusted for the impact of gas prices and foreign exchange.
