Costco Wholesale shares surged to an all-time high of $1,096.50, up over 25% in 2026, fueling talk of a potential stock split.
Costco Wholesale (COST) reached a new peak of $1,096.50 on Tuesday, extending its 2026 gains to more than 25%. The rally has intensified investor speculation about a possible stock split, as the retailer has not split its stock since 2000.
The last split occurred over two decades ago, and the current share price is among the highest in the S&P 500. Analysts note that high nominal prices can deter retail investors, though Costco has historically resisted splits despite its stock performance.
No official announcement has been made regarding a split, but the elevated price has kept the topic in focus among traders and market observers.
