On May 7, 2025, Costco's trading volume reached 13.26 billion, ranking 43rd in the day's stock market. Costco's stock price fell by 0.33%, marking the second consecutive day of decline, with a total decrease of 0.76% over the past two days.

Costco's stock price has been influenced by several factors recently. The company's decision to raise its membership fees has sparked mixed reactions from investors and analysts. While some view this as a positive move to boost revenue, others are concerned about potential backlash from customers.

Additionally, Costco's expansion plans into new markets have been a topic of discussion. The company's strategy to open more warehouses in high-growth regions is seen as a long-term investment that could drive future growth. However, the immediate impact on earnings remains uncertain, contributing to the volatility in its stock price.

Furthermore, the retail giant's focus on e-commerce has been highlighted as a key growth area. With the increasing trend of online shopping, Costco's efforts to enhance its digital platform and improve delivery services are expected to attract more customers and drive sales. This strategic shift is seen as a positive development for the company's future prospects.
