Costco announces a $1.30 dividend for shareholders in early 2026
Costco Wholesale Corporation has announced a new quarterly cash dividend for its shareholders. The payment will be issued in early 2026, continuing the company’s long-standing practice of returning profits to investors. With hundreds of warehouses worldwide, the retail giant remains a major player in global commerce.
The dividend of $1.30 per share will go to shareholders recorded by January 30, 2026. Payment is scheduled for February 13 of the same year. This follows Costco’s regular dividend distribution pattern.
The company currently runs 923 warehouses across the globe. Over two-thirds of these—633 in total—are located in the United States and Puerto Rico. Beyond physical stores, Costco also manages e-commerce platforms in multiple countries, including the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. No new warehouse openings in additional countries have been reported for 2026. The company’s global footprint remains concentrated in its existing markets for now.
Shareholders will receive $1.30 per share if registered by the end of January 2026. The dividend reflects Costco’s steady financial performance and ongoing commitment to investor returns. Meanwhile, the retailer’s operations continue to span warehouses and online sales in key markets worldwide.
