Costco's Trading Volume Soars to 22.58 Billion, Ranked 27th Despite Stock Price Decline

On July 23, 2025, Costco's trading volume reached 22.58 billion, marking a 32.65% increase from the previous day, placing it 27th in the day's stock market rankings. However, the stock price of Costco (COST) fell by 0.04%, marking the fourth consecutive day of decline, with a total decrease of 1.33% over the past four days.

Jim Cramer, a prominent financial analyst, recently discussed Costco, noting that the stock has declined from its peak. He advised investors not to be deterred by short-term fluctuations, emphasizing that Costco's business model remains strong. Cramer highlighted that Costco's success often leads to periods of stagnation, which he sees as an opportunity to buy. He believes that Costco is one of the top companies of all time and that its current valuation, at 50 times earnings, is not a cause for concern.

Cramer also commented on Costco's recent sales performance, noting that while the company's June monthly sales report showed a 5.5% increase in US comparable sales, excluding gasoline, this was slightly below market expectations of 6%. Despite this, Cramer remains bullish on Costco, citing its unique business model and the potential for future growth. He suggested that the current market sentiment, which views a 5.5% same-store sales increase as disappointing, presents a buying opportunity for investors.
