Bull case
- Membership renewal rates above 90% globally — best in retail.
- Pricing power on annual fee increases without renewal-rate damage.
- International store expansion runway is still meaningful.
Bear case
- Premium valuation reflects compounder status — limited margin for error.
- Inflation and SKU mix can pressure thin merchandise margins.
- Wage and benefit costs continue to climb (and Costco famously won't squeeze workers).
Why a Canadian investor might own this
A membership-fee flywheel disguised as a retailer — and one of the most beloved compounders in the market.
