Will Costco Pay a Special Dividend in 2026? Here's What History Says.
Yahoo Finance ·
Over the last five years, Costco Wholesale ( COST +3.00% ) shareholders have been rewarded through a soaring stock price, which has climbed over 130% as of this writing. But they've also been rewarded by something else during that time frame: a special dividend payout. In 2024, Costco paid a hefty special dividend of $15 per share. There isn't a clear pattern for when the company pays a special dividend, but given its assets and payout history, another special dividend may not be too far off. Unlike its current quarterly dividend, Costco's special dividend is more sporadic. After looking at the payouts from the last few years, some patterns emerge. The first is that, outside 2017, most special dividends were paid near the start or end of a year.
