Membership fees
Fiscal 2026 membership fee income $5.9 billion, up about 11% year on year.
The numbers
What it is
Annual fees paid by paid members and executive members, which carry Costco's operating profit. Executive membership is one of the tiers counted in fee income. Fee increases in past years and rising sign-ups have driven the growth.
Why it matters to the stock. Membership fees are a large share of operating income, so renewals and fee changes move earnings more than merchandise margin does. Traders watch renewal rates and fee income each quarter.
