Costco's Regular Dividend Looks Tiny. Its Special Dividends Tell a Different Story
Chris Lange's 247wallst.com article argues Costco's roughly 0.54% regular yield understates a record of special dividends — $7 to $15 a share, the 2024 payout alone about 2.6 times the annual regular amount — though management committed to no repeat, and Jim Cramer's cited $30 special dividend is not on the published schedule. The article says the stock's roughly 52-times-earnings valuation already prices in much of that room, and recommends tracking Costco's cash balance and whether capex growth slows after fiscal 2027.
