From Costco’s annual (10-K) and quarterly (10-Q) reports to the SEC; each column heading links to its filing. Fourth quarters, and quarterly cash flows, are worked out from the year’s totals. Earnings per share for a fourth quarter can’t be, so it is left blank. Per-share figures before a share split are adjusted to today’s shares.

Charts and live prices are delayed, from TradingView. Market values use each company’s last trade on IEX at the previous close, times the shares in issue from its filings; company figures come from SEC filings. This is information, not investment advice. Where our market data comes from
