TRX Costco FY2026 EPS rises 14% as poster models 50x-to-35x multiple scenario
A r/stocks post cites Costco's FY2026 earnings release reporting net sales up 10.1% to $297.2 billion and diluted EPS rising from $18.21 to $20.76, about 14%. The poster then models a hypothetical entry at 50x earnings ($1,038 per share, explicitly not a live quote) and a 35x multiple five years later, showing annualized price returns of 2.4% to 7.1% depending on EPS growth. The post asks how much EPS growth can offset a lower earnings multiple.
