Prelude…..
Costco trading strategies were based on earnings that were due towards the end of the week. However, the idea was to profit on the stock movement prior to this event and not rely on the actually earnings as has been shown that many times in past earnings of late, the stock can perform quite well but can then see its price drop afterwards.

Expectations THAT ApplIED to Costco Trading Strategies....
Costco was expected to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended November 2021.
The consensus earnings estimate is for $2.59 per share on revenue of $49.05 billion; but the Whisper number is higher at $2.77 per share.
Consensus estimates are for year-over-year earnings growth of 13.10% with revenue increasing by 13.52%.
The Actual Earnings Report.....
Costco came out with decent first-quarter fiscal 2022 results, wherein both the top and the bottom lines not only surpassed the Consensus Estimate but also improved year over year.
Costco came out with quarterly earnings of $2.97 per share, beating the Consensus Estimate of $2.59 per share. This compares to earnings of $2.29 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 14.67%.
Total revenues, which include net sales and membership fees, came in at $50,363 million, up 16.6% from the prior-year quarter.
Costco shares have added about 40.7% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 25.2%.
Conclusion......
Looking at the Costco trading strategies that were employed it is obvious that the more hand-on approach, in this instance provided far greater profit then that of letting the trade play-out!
However, having said that, it is not in everyone’s ability to watch, and trade, the stock market full-time; therefore, setting exit limits is a method that can help.
