FAQ

Why Neutral?

Costco's move to cut book sales aligns with consumer trends but isn't expected to significantly impact overall revenue, as it primarily affects a non-core product line.

How important is it?

The decision affects product offerings but does not change Costco's fundamental business model or sales forecasts dramatically.

Why Short Term?

The decision will have immediate effects in January, but it may not persist, waiting on changes like future book sales trends.
