## Elevator Pitch

- Lower agricultural commodity prices outlooks can help Costco strengthen its market position, pass savings to customers, and gradually expand margins.
- Investments in new warehouses can drive higher traffic overall and accelerate revenue growth despite initial cannibalization of existing warehouses.
- Costco’s valuation premium vs. comps is justified as its superior business model has delivered vastly superior shareholder returns. Encouragingly, the current COST premium vs. comps is slightly below historical averages.
- COST's technicals vs. SPX500 look good, as the ratio prices are bouncing off a key support level in a strong way.
- Tariffs remain a risk that can put pressure on margins, but import data and commodity price trends suggest limited impact so far.
