Bonds Are a 'Safe' Investment: A Big Lie Gets Even Bigger
The market is set for a lower open this morning, and one of the stocks that will be contributing to the slow start will be warehouse retailer Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ: COST) which is currently trading down slightly over 6% in today's pre-market action. The company announced its fiscal Q1 earnings this morning and was unable to beat analyst estimates, despite an 11% increase in quarterly profit. For the entire quarter the company showed earnings per share of 59 cents, which was in-line with what analysts had been expecting to see going into today's report.
Despite not being able to outpace analyst estimates for earnings, the company had a pretty good quarter overall. If you take a look at revenues, you see a very respectable jump of 12% in the quarter, which is a great increase, but once again, in-line with analyst estimates.
