Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST) ranks among the best low volatility stocks to buy according to analysts. William Blair reaffirmed its Outperform rating on Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST) on July 10 as the company announced monthly sales of $26.4 billion for June 2025, an 8.0% year-over-year increase.

The addition of 25 new warehouses, which represented a 2.8% unit expansion, and comparative sales growth of 5.8% were the main drivers behind the sales growth. After two months of sequentially weaker performance, June comparative sales showed a reacceleration, primarily as a result of foreign exchange tailwinds that had been putting pressure on results for 14 months.

US adjusted comparable sales increased 5.5%, representing a two-year stack of 11.8% that was in line with the trailing twelve-month average of 11.7%. Adjusted comparable sales increased 7.9% for Canadian operations and 8.2% for other international markets.
