Members who disclosed buying COST and have not disclosed selling, versus their own entry (the most recent disclosed buy). "Open" means no disclosed sale — never "still holds" — and the % is unrealised, on paper. Not investment advice.

Fundamentals · FY2026 Valuation
Standard valuation multiples from SEC-reported GAAP financials (trailing twelve months), each compared to the median for Retail & Wholesale. We use reported GAAP, not forward or adjusted earnings, so our figures can sit higher than sites that do — especially for companies with falling profit. Relative context — not a target price or investment advice.
P/E
48.62
▲ pricier than
Retail & Wholesale (median 23.0)
how it's calculated
P/E = price ÷ earnings per share
$1,012.28 ÷ $20.82 = 48.62
Based on GAAP trailing-twelve-month financials (SEC filings) and the latest close. Other sites may show a different multiple when they use forward (projected) or non-GAAP adjusted figures instead of reported GAAP — for a company with volatile profit those can differ in either direction from the GAAP figure shown here.
P/B
12.53
▲ pricier than
Retail & Wholesale (median 6.3)
how it's calculated
P/B = price ÷ book value per share
$1,012.28 ÷ $80.80 = 12.53
Based on GAAP trailing-twelve-month financials (SEC filings) and the latest close. Other sites may show a different multiple when they use forward (projected) or non-GAAP adjusted figures instead of reported GAAP — for a company with volatile profit those can differ in either direction from the GAAP figure shown here.
EV/EBITDA
30.26
▲ pricier than
Retail & Wholesale (median 14.2)
how it's calculated
EV/EBITDA = (market cap + net debt) ÷ EBITDA — net cash lowers EV
($448.6B − $14.0B net cash) ÷ $14.4B = $434.5B ÷ $14.4B = 30.26
Based on GAAP trailing-twelve-month financials (SEC filings) and the latest close. Other sites may show a different multiple when they use forward (projected) or non-GAAP adjusted figures instead of reported GAAP — for a company with volatile profit those can differ in either direction from the GAAP figure shown here.

Two things to watch per trade: the disclosure lag (how many days passed before the trade was made public) and the price move in that window (how the stock moved during those non-public days). A sell followed by a price drop, or a buy followed by a rise, means well-timed trading — visible here in the open. Note: the Score measures how notable a trade is, not whether it made money — the price move is shown for context and isn't part of it.

Corporate insiders · SEC Form 4 Insider Activity
What the company's own officers and directors did in COST — open-market purchases and sales from SEC Form 4 filings (option exercises, grants and tax withholding are excluded). This is context for the congressional activity above, never a buy/sell signal, and the two datasets are kept separate on purpose. Does convergence mean anything? →
23
Congress trades with insider convergence
28
…with insider divergence
71
Insider open-market trades
Of the congressional trades in COST, 23 coincided with corporate insiders moving the same way within 60 days, and 28 with insiders moving the opposite way. This is co-occurrence only — whether it carries any edge is tested honestly on the convergence page.
