Revenue for the quarter came in at $72.09 billion, also slightly ahead of the consensus expectation of $71.64 billion.Commenting on the stock's weakness, Rupesh Parikh of Oppenheimer believes the company fell victim to investors' \"elevated expectations\", noting \"bottom-line delivery likely disappoints heightened investor expectations in our conversations following strong fuel upside at BJ and KR in their recent reports.\"The analyst lowers his price target to $550 from $600 to reflect shrinking valuations across the board, but maintains an \"Outperform\" rating and advises to \"take advantage of any weakness tomorrow\". Oppenheimer sees potential \"membership fee increase and a special dividend\" as major catalysts in coming quarters.A similar cautious yet highly positive tone is offered by Truist Securities' Scot Ciccarelli, as he cuts his price target to $559 from $571, but reiterates a \"Buy\" rating, claiming Costco's \"value proposition remains unmatched.\"The analyst also highlights the stock as a great buy in times of economic uncertainty, believing \"the more difficult the economic environment becomes, the more important Costco becomes to its members, which results in even more traffic/sales and ultimately better buying power.\" He concludes by citing same \"potential for future membership fee increases and the possibility of a 1x dividend\" as key catalysts to look forward to.Lastly, Corey Tarlowe of Jefferies kept as bullish as ever, noting \"COST remains a Top Pick.\"The analyst highlights further improvements in the business, as \"gross margin of 10.2% came in ahead of cons. of 10.1%\" and notes \"the membership model drives predictable sales and profitability in an increasingly uncertain environment.\"On the question of what’s not to like about the quarterly report, the analyst was blunt - \"Nothing\".Jefferies reiterated a \"Buy\" recommendation with $610 price target on the shares.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9913760607,"gmtCreate":1664072194909,"gmtModify":1676537386050,"author":{"id":"3582538202393061","authorId":"3582538202393061","name":"Zivcheah","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d52882be9b594ebb5b5933851792d286","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3582538202393061","idStr":"3582538202393061"},"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9913760607","repostId":2269437968,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":104078051,"gmtCreate":1664072199792,"gmtModify":1664072203557,"authorId":3582538202393061,"author":{"id":3582538202393061,"idStr":"3582538202393061","authorId":3582538202393061,"name":"Zivcheah","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d52882be9b594ebb5b5933851792d286","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":9913760607,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"<u>O</u>","text":"<u>O</u>","html":"<u>O</u>"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9913425673,"gmtCreate":1664063017392,"gmtModify":1676537383647,"author":{"id":"3574906731000207","authorId":"3574906731000207","name":"SSVC","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/545a5ea462ff4ac7cc100bd3d8d97f72","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3574906731000207","idStr":"3574906731000207"},"htmlText":"K","listText":"K","text":"K","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9913425673","repostId":2269437968,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9913550707,"gmtCreate":1664025816510,"gmtModify":1676537380759,"author":{"id":"3562118563279867","authorId":"3562118563279867","name":"Desmond669","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e2484115c94d3471cb46f20ea7598b4a","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3562118563279867","idStr":"3562118563279867"},"htmlText":"Oooo","listText":"Oooo","text":"Oooo","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9913550707","repostId":2269437968,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9913588262,"gmtCreate":1664018141156,"gmtModify":1676537379922,"author":{"id":"4087620073091560","authorId":"4087620073091560","name":"SteadyDoesIt","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ab599edb0711e3b18e0dda8931ea8e4a","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"4087620073091560","idStr":"4087620073091560"},"htmlText":"Still
