What else? The club retailers have diverged here. Costco’s got red hot… BJ’s Wholesale Club. I think it could have, play some room, it’s got some catching up. I still prefer Costco for the long run, though.

BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:BJ) runs membership warehouse clubs that sell groceries, fresh food, general merchandise, and gasoline. TimesSquare Capital Management stated the following regarding BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:BJ) in its third quarter 2025 investor letter:

Our preferences in the Consumer-oriented sectors lean toward value-oriented or specialty retailers, franchise models, premium brands, or support services for other consumer companies. Membership warehouse operator BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:BJ) dropped by -14%. Second quarter profits and earnings outpaced the consensus; however, revenues and same store sales fell short. Early in the quarter, their Northeast and Mid-Atlantic stores were impacted by unseasonable wet and chilly weather. While groceries and sundries performed well, general merchandise was down. Notably, membership rolls continue to grow.

While we acknowledge the risk and potential of BJ as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame.
