CostCo Slows

September 5, 2007 by Douglas A. McIntyre

CostCo (COST) same-store sales rose only 2% during the last month.

Comparable sales for the four-week retail-reporting month of August, the 16-week fourth quarter and the 52-week fiscal year 2007 are as follows: 

               4 Weeks      16 Weeks      52 Weeks               -------      --------      --------US                1%           4%            5%International     8%           9%            9%Total Company     2%           5%            6%
Not a good sign for the rest of the retail market.
