Costco

Few retail players in North America match the executional depth of Costco. From Issaquah, the group manages a workforce of approximately 316k and generates close to $242B in revenue, while steadily widening the gap with regional peers.

Long-term partnerships with sovereign and institutional investors give the company unusual visibility on multi-year demand.

“Costco is, in its category, exactly the kind of compounding regional champion the next decade of capital allocation will reward.”

The outlook remains constructive: order books, hiring patterns and capex guidance all point to a multi-year expansion phase.
