Costco reports fiscal fourth-quarter results on 24 September, but its new same-day delivery partnership with DoorDash will not affect the numbers. The deal went live after the quarter closed in late August or early September. Costco's digital business was already performing strongly without DoorDash. Third-quarter digital comparable sales rose 21.5%, whilst e-commerce traffic surged 37%. Management noted same-day delivery attracts the company's highest-spending members. The partnership is seen as a defensive move against Walmart+ and Amazon Prime, which both bundle same-day delivery with membership programmes. Costco has opted for partnership over building its own last-mile delivery infrastructure. Membership remains central to Costco's earnings quality, with 82.9 million paid members and a worldwide renewal rate of 89.7%. Trading at 45 times earnings, the stock dropped nearly 4% after its previous quarterly report despite beating expectations.
