Yahoo Finance ·
Costco Wholesale ( COST +1.13% ) stock hit $1,000 for the first time in February 2025, but it's been up and down since then as the market accounts for changing economic trends. Costco itself has been demonstrating outstanding performance the whole time, though, and the market has been feeling more positive about it. Can it get back to $1,000 again before the end of the year? Costco is often called a "recession-proof" or "inflation-proof" stock because it can do well in adverse circumstances. In fact, the company often does even better in rough economies, because that's when its customers need it even more.
